Got my self a classic 1969 Ghibli 4.7. It needs a bit of work but I did say I wanted to be more involved with my car. Okay, so the steering wheel is on the wrong side but that should come in handy when I'm touring the continent...well, that's what I told the wife.
It's currently having a little bodywork done so at least I will be starting off with a sound base on which to polish my rusty mechanical skills.
I've started thinking about certain improvements I could make and one of those is to replace the somewhat crappy aftermarket radio it has installed. Can any of you tell me what the original equipment item would have been for my car? I have found some sites that restore old period radios for reasonable money. I like the look of the original Becker Mexico and Europa models but I believe they were more commonly found in Mercedes of that period. The modern interpretion of the Mexico with SatNav etc looks very nice but very expensive.
I'll be going to the Classic car show at the NEC in Birmingham in November so maybe I can try and find something there if i know what I should be looking for.
I'd appreciate any help.
Cheers.
