I'm not an advocate of change but the head unit does have a certain period look to it with a great grey colour match, not entirely out of place, that's one beautiful car.

Thanks :) it's literally the only thing i'd ever change on the car because it's perfect as it is. The good thing is I easily put the original head unit back anytime. But it's not very often I get the opportunity to actually use my vintage head units. I chose my favourite one for this car because it's so special lol

That is a lovely car.
Just out of interest you said you had the stereo "restored". Is there a company out there that restores old car radios as the cassette function in my 820SE is kaput.

As for having a Mk1 one and two I'm keeping stum as well :roll:

Kate :D

Great looking! So clean and well kept. I had the exact Clarion way back in my first car and it was a great piece of equipment! Really powerful! I actually miss it as my current cd-stereo is rubbish.
