<< As I am in the process of restoring my TR2, I notice that I have what
 appears to be an antenna hole on my front passenger wing.  Since I also have
 what appears to be a speaker mounting hole on the passenger body (where the
 passenger's feet would go), I'm presuming that a radio was an option even
 back in 1954.
 
 So.
 
 Does anyone know anything about what radio would have been used?  Where I
 might find one?  What about the antenna?  What kind/brand/style was it?
 Anyone have photos?  Anyone have a TR2 or TR3 with an original radio who'd
 take photos?
 
 Many thanks in Advance!

My 58 TR3A came with the remains of a radio installed in it. There was a radio
shaped hole in the cubby box door and no cubby box. Behind the door was a
frame - rather extensive and elaborate - on which the erstwhile radio had once
been mounted. I thought this a bit much to be the result of an after market
installation, and figured it was perhaps a factory job. No mention of radio in
either the parts book or handbook though.
I think I still have the whole mess - if interested please e-mail me directly.
