#1 Advice please !

Post by NWplasterers » Fri Sep 09, 2016 5:53 pm

Hi all
Just a couple of weeks now until I collect my series 1 2+2, so excited !!

Would just like some opinions please on security systems that you guys would recommend and I need an audio system of some sort,but obviously one that compliments the car.
Your comments and suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Many thanks all

Www.classiccarstereo.co.UK do a range of audio for classic cars do radios. They seem to have stopped selling retrosound radios. I have a model 1 although Moss Europe sell the model 2. Or try chrome London. They refurbish period radios and add iPod etc connectivity.

For security get a tracker, a disklok, fit a secret fuel pump isolator and get a large hungry dog. There are several threads on here about security. And make sure agreed valuation is correct.

Enjoy the car. J

Mine came with an original radio - only get weather forecasts about Viking and Cromarty, plus the Archers. Thing is, I have the radio/music on the whole time when I'm driving my everyday car, but in the E I never bother; just enjoying the driving experience seems enough.

My radio gets little use as the best sound ever is the xk engine....unless you happen to have a rolls Royce Merlin of course.

I spent ,loads on an MP3 Chrome London period radio.

It is excellent, very good quality.

Never listen to it!

Cannot hear it. I have good hearing.

XK engine sounds better.

Looks great!
