Yep, got a message from Ebay this afternoon...it sold for AU 185,- and that's without the P&P...must be something very special !! (but a bit to much money for me)

Andrew, what do you mean ?
Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2006 9:37 pm
185 AUD is about 75 GBP.

ah ok, and do you think it was worth it ?, do you think it was a British Motor Company radio ?

It seems a bit steep to me considering it was sold as "it was working 20 years ago." I doubt it was made by BMC but it may have been rebadged by them and fitted to one of their cars.

Well there's probably something we don't know...and the aussies do...

you could look into finding a radio that looked the part and get a BMC sticker made up to fit the unit you have! might be cheaper than £75 plus postage from down under!
just another idea that is all as you car was not fitted with anything as standard so you have a lot of scope as to what is considered correct.

You are right there Tickman, I'm just curieus and like a radio that's right for the car's age and looks nice also.

Well that answers that query, but over here that name could be applied to a certain character from one of our soap operasIt is a Diamond Dot radio specialy made for Australia

My convertible, I've just scrapped, had a speaker mounted in the hole under the left had glove box. Fitted well almost as if that is what it was intended for ? No glove box on my car though so I don't know if it would have fouled that.
I'm lucky in that I've a late 1960's push button radion, with FM, that I removed from my Volvo P1800
.
I got fed up of all the old LM/MW radios lying around so binned them last year. I'd looked into having them adapted to receive FM but too expensive. Cheaper to buy a modern unit with a remote control and hide it out of the way ?
