We do a wide range of replacement aerials, telescopes, masts and aerial spares for cars. If your model is not covered in this or our other listings, please contact us with full details of vehicle model, age and aerial make etc.
Please note; this is a fully automatic aerial, with microprocessor control so on some early “classic” cars, with a semi-automatic aerial controlled via a manually operated switch, the switch needs to be taken out of circuit, or replaced with an on/off switch.
