Hi, I appreciate everyone’s response and opinion, although the thread has wandered slightly.
Since starting this thread I have purchased a 2004 +8 Anniversary model with 13500 miles.
The car was originally sold in the UK and later purchased by a German collector, from where I collected the car.
I enjoyed the 600 mile drive home through Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France, and it didn’t miss a beat, why would you fit a radio with an engine that sounds like it does?
The car is now tucked up in my garage at home having a short rest.
Thanks to everyone again.
