A Big credit to the owner as I looked into buying this car just before the current owner bought it. I decided that this car needed a Lot of Time and Money spent on it and this was just not what I was looking to do after my nut and bolt rebuild on my S .
Well Done.

Not original tho is it.......

Sorry only joking, I think it looks fantastic, especially the interior.....

Cheers, Al.

Looks great, but at the risk of being picky, it just needs some kind of surround for the head unit as the cage is a bit unsightly.

Awesome though, and congrats to the owner

It's a JVC head unit, might be the same as the one in my 390... and it's in upside-down Halfords special deal complete with autochanger for £150?

I had a similar problem with my 1980 Tasmin, it was built before the DIN standard for car stereos was introduced and it was impossible to get a modern head unit to fit in flush. I made a fake front for mine (Pioneer KEX900, cost almost a grand new, I got it for free as it was faulty) so it looked like an old-fashioned cassette unit, complete with half a tape sticking out of the slot!
