I.c.e, i.c.e baby.................

Hello all.
Having just taken delivery of a lovely 85 340GL, im now craving the addition on some in car entertainment.

Ive tried powersliding (no good at it)
Ive tried popping V's at the plebs in the Saxos. (end up fighting)
Ive tried whistling. (gay.)
and Ive even tried carrying my home Denon seperates on the the back seat.
(cant find an extension cable long enough).

Think my only remaining option is to break the 23 year old seal (gulp) and pop the dash panel (for the first time) to fit a stereo.


which brings me to my question...................................
Does anyone have a 'period' radio, or radio cassette player that theyre willing to part with for some folding money?

best condition possible. I dont want to spoil the clean look of the console with something tatty.

anyone with anything suitable please PM me or throw a pic up here.

Cheers gentlemen.

Well done, that man :-) Period radios rock. Well, they don't really, but they look nice ;-)

You might try asking Jay, see this post:

A bit of patience and a keen eye on Ebay might be an idea ...

* You copy/paste the link to the pic you want to show, say this one:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/268 ... f592_o.jpg

* you klick on it really fast three times, so it's "selected"

* klick on the "Img" button

and away you go!

Cheers

Tom would it be poss for you to add that pic of the various 300 radios there were available?

Does it have to be analogue or digital?

I have a few lying around..

Regards

Jay

Digital Ideally.

Only really going to be using in conjuntion with an ipod and fm sender-affair really so it wont make a GREAT deal of difference. (I dont think)
as long as its good condition and the price is right, Im open to suggestions.

Cheers
