Hi All,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is the wifes car and Yes i'm gonna get to drive it.

It is a '53 plate coupe, light mettalic blue, auto that has only done 12.5k miles.
We looked at several 'immaculate' ones at dealers and found this one on AutoTrader.
Stuart at SDSC Motors was selling it, so after a journey over to Peterborough, a couple of hours later i was driving it home.
I'm going to put a private plate on it for the wife just to add to my 'brownie point' tally.
If the radio issue turns out to be a radio unit failure, have any of you guys fitted Blue Tooth replcement units ? Is this an ok swop ??
Thanks again,
John.
