I'm old enough to remember them when they were new...... they were crap then.... around the same time as they came out, radio 1 made the switch to FM, and we were all running round with audioline radio cassettes with graphic equalisers......and throwing am radios in the cut....

look, just because you took it out & wiped it with bumper cleaner doesn't make it a good radio... it isn't 'retro', in terms of post modernistic irony, but in terms of a step back to a worse condition, then it is retro.....

I don't take pills, the lad asked an opinion & he is getting it.

why don't we all fit the 1.0 ohv engines back into our novas cos they are retro too

alright calm down.... lol i actually just found it at a breakers yard and was like bugger it looks cool why not take it and didnt even cost me anything because i left it in my bag and walked out and forgot about it but paid for everything else! and havent even wiped the thing i thought it was quite dirty. assumptions are not cool

and i did ask for an opinion but come on, calm down lol

nova saloon, I am calm, but I hate the use of the term retro to attempt to claim something is great.... an AM radio is just obsolete these days, and that sort really was cheap tat.. it was fitted to the lowest base model cars just so they could say it came with a radio...
