Retro car stereo help

[PaulDav]

I'm building a GD cobra and want to add a modern technology retro look stereo. I saw this when browsing but can't find the make anywhere. Can anyone help me as to what the stereo is?

If your interior is going to look like that, then I wouldn't worry about it. There isn't really anything retro about it.

Becker do them, as do Blaupunkt, AutoSound, Pioneer and probably everyone else too.

Something like this?

Maybe 'retro' was the wrong description. I don't want something that just slots into a radio cartridge, I want something that is quite chromed and looks like the 50's radios they used to have in American high end cars

This is what I have in my MX5 - is this the sort of thing you're looking for?




Has Aux in as well as a fly-lead with USB port and SD card slot.

I don't have, and have never really wanted an MX5, but I'd consider buying one just to have that steering wheel...

This is the nearest I can find but I'm not sure of the finish? Looks like could be plastic chromed?

I've only got one non-airbag car, and that wheel isn't right for it, but I might buy one to hang on the wall

there are a couple of companies specialising in fitting modern internals into classic radio bodies - they will be at the NEC Classic Car show (sorry I don't know their names)
