Vantage aerial question

[JetskiJezz]

Hope someone can help me out, I am in the middle of ordering a car cover for a client of mine as a Christmas present.

He has a 2006 vantage coupe. I've just been asked what type of aerial he has on the car so that they can make an allowance for it in the cover. The problem is I don't have any pictures of his car and can't really ask him as I wanted it to be a surprise.

I do know that it's a 2006 model and that it doesn't have satellite navigation. - Can anyone advise whether it has any sort of aerial at all, I'm assuming it's built into the screen as it is on my roadster, but I don't want to go on assumption alone.

Hope someone can help.

A 2006 Vantage Coupe would almost certainly have a rear mounted roof aerial.

I had thought that the screen aerial was only introduced with the 4.7 litre cars in September 2008, but it might have been a little earlier than that, but not two years earlier.

Some owners of course, might have changed their own aerial arrangements, to create the appearance of a later car.

Would make putting a cover on 'interesting' unless you also change it for the stubby ariel version too.

All 2005-2007 coupes had the aerial on the roof

2008 onwards (inc 4.3) had their roofs built within the screen

My custom cover has a small slit for the aerial to fit through. The aerial does simply unscrew from the roof mount part tho so it is easy enough to take it of and put it in the boot when you fit the cover if there is no hole.

I have a 2007 4.3L V8 Vanatge with the aerial on the roof but it is detachable (I.e. You can unscrew the whip part of the aerial in order to be able to put a cover over the car).

Thanks everyone for all the information.

I've come to the conclusion that it definitely is going to have an aerial.
This particular cover company will make a pocket for the aerial ( much like standard mirror pockets) so that it doesn't have to be on screwed.
