Hi removed the old radio from the centre of SS1 SRH17903 and found the radio marked differently - to a different car number - see attached pics. Its about 9 cars on the production line earlier than mine. Is this usual? unusual? or is it meh?  | ||

My original one had my car number on it but was actually badly made (the centre cutout was fractionally too large) so I replaced it. Radios for different markets were also different - with different spindle hole distances and cutout size for the US Motorola and the Australian Blaupunkt for example. As the number is so close to yours I'd assume a decision change at the factory to use up an uneeded surround. They were under a lot of pressure at the time and holding up a car because of a radio surround would have been out of the question. | ||

I had a similar thing with seat cushions on my 1979 Shadow 2 SRH37131. Chalked underneath both is SRH37143. My interior is magnolia with blue piping so quite unusual. A quirk of hand built cars. Kind regards, Chris | ||
