Wanted: R6 - GT Parts

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

I’ve got that radio that came out of mine. Think it’s VC-706?… at a guess. Radio works but tapes play distorted.

Any good? Too old?

Should be an VC802 (waits to see if he's corrected by DCWalker) but anything is better than a big hole in the dashboard! :rofl:

No, there are plenty available, but at vastly inflated prices. There is a large batch which changed hands several times, asking prices are now around 10 pound each.
