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:

I may have a number plate plinth but will have to check my cupboards in a few weeks.

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.
