Determining the presence of ABS in a '91 200

From what I understand, ABS was an option in '91 240s. I don't think the car I'm looking at has it but want to be sure. No light on the dashboard for ABS lights up when I turn on the ignition. Also was able to lock the tires in an abandoned parking lot with no problem.

I mostly want to make sure that nobody has disabled the ABS system and removed the light bulb. I looked underneath at one of the front wheels and saw 2 brake lines, just like my '82. Looked really hard for wires that would go to wheel sensors but didn't see any. Also looked under the hood for evidence of an ABS computer or something similar to no avail.

Anyone got an easy way for me to be sure it doesn't have 'disabled' ABS

Thanks,
Bob

One other thing is that the front calipers have a SINGLE flex line going to the caliper on ABS systems, and only ONE bleeder nipple.

Bob: look under the hood, you can't miss it. BMF box with brake lines going into it and a wiring bundle entering the side.

It should have zinc yellow colored box in front of the left strut tower with a black plastic cover on top rear, massive philips head screws facing the motor on bottom, and five brake lines coming out. Also there will be a black hollow tube running next to the front brake line to the front caliper for the sensor.
