This very rare radio has been fitted with a lead allowing you to play your digital music files from your iPod or mp3 player directly through the radio - the connecting lead is almost 2 metres long, which is ample for most installations - and it is fitted with a standard 3.5mm jack plug which is compatible with all ipod/mp3 players.

It is in lovely condition for its age, and would not look out of place in the fascia of any classic car - it is in very nice order considering it is around 45 years old, with only some minor marks to the trimplate and knobs, however you do have to be very close up to see them. This radio is very compact and will therefore fit cars where space behind the dash it at a premium, such as Lotus Elan etc (the radio measures 176x120x50mm) 

It sounds just as good as it looks too -  I have had this on test over many hours using a Radiomobile speaker and it gave excellent performance over all bandwidths. All the pushbuttons and controls operate perfectly without any crackles or notchiness.  This set packs quite a punch and will easily drive a pair of speakers if you so wish. (Remember these are mono sets though, not stereo) You will certainly not be dissapointed with its performance, it is a very sensitive and powerful radio which tuned in plenty of local and national stations on both AM and FM. It also sounded terrific when I connected my ipod to it 

These AM and FM sets were fitted to many cars as an aftermarket accessory, and were very expensive when new...much more than the MW and LW only sets. As it is dual polarity, it is suitable for installation in any 12 volt classic car - making these radios quite sought after, especially so with the iPod/mp3 lead fitted - take a look at the large sized photo's and judge the condition for yourself - it would look super back in a fascia of a period classic car

Perhaps now is the time to give your beloved classic car a real period treat ready for this seasons shows and drives ?

A really nice, attractive and powerful AM/FM radio, which sounds fabulous - dont miss this one.

Take a look at my other items, I have listed a Radiomobile vintage speaker with a 'Pye' chromed grille, which would compliment this radio perfectly
