Just been made aware of this, a Becker Mexico

Becker Mexico - Hi-Tech Retro - Classic Driver - MAGAZINE - news (http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/magazine/3300.asp?id=12924)

Becker Mexico Retro 7948 - Soundlabs Group (http://www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/p/Becker-Mexico-Retro-7948/Becker+Mexico+Retro+7948)

Ipod, navigation etc in a classic looking unit.

But at $A2,750 it would want to be good!

Becker and Blaupunkt were THE names in car radios in the 60's - 70's. Top shelf stuff and always expensive. Used car ads would stress the brand names instead of just saying radio, or radio and heater. Something like "Austin-Healey BN4, genuine 1956 four speed and overdrive, 60,000miles, Pirelli Cinturatos, 1 3/4" SU's, Becker Mexico, heater, Lucas Flamethrowers, Le Mans headlights. $2200."

A mate of my brother did up a real nice Barracuda.It had the original wireless that was irrepairable due to an internal short and burn.Couldnt find an original replacement.He cut the face off it installed illumination and fitted a hinge.You lift the old fake face up to reveal a modern dukebox hiding behind it.Really well done and a hell of a lot cheaper too.
