@sheffcortinacentre that 8-track radio adapter is absolutely epic, what a find!

Fitted one of these to the Maestro yesterday

[Hogie]

I picked up one of these about a year ago.

I thinks it for a Metro or similar BL era cars that I don’t own!

Its not for anything as it stands. That's the base kit. There's then a model-specific fitting kit for each vehicle in the range. That's not to mean it isn't useful. Someone out there with the car kit might bite your hand off for it.

Do you wish to sell? It'd be great in my Maestro!

Aaaaah!

The photos just gave no sense of scale when looking at it on my phone.

You are correct.

 From some research I did at the time, the base kit is missing some switches, an on/off switch and a momentary switch to set, accelerate / decelerate . 

I bought generic ones which looked quite close to the one I saw in a uni part brochure  and then did precisely nothing with it after that, as my initial interest was in fitting this to my diesel Frontera, not realising it takes its speed from the ignition coil pre-purchase.

I’d let it go, it just sitting in the loft now, better that it used by an enthusiast on an appropriate car

I've got this sitting in my office if anyone's interested:

I think they should have thought a bit more about the part number they chose!
