This is a good quality chrome roof AM/FM radio aerial antenna for mounting on the centre front of the roof. It is ideal for older 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s classic and old timer collectors car; saloon coupe and estate models to match period style chromium trim & fittings. This aerial is fairly universal for older car models with an existing aerial antenna mounted on the front of the roof or as a new installation on restoration projects. 

Attractive aerodynamic period design aerial; chromium plated brass with stainless steel mast, the aerial has a small tear-drop shaped black base measuring 40 mm long by 35 mm wide which accommodates most flat or slightly curved front roof panels.

The pivot casting is chrome plated and the removable mast is a two- section telescope, measuring approximately 42 cm overall when retracted and 68 cm when extended. The base requires one 10 mm mounting hole, with a smaller 5 mm hole behind to accept a locating peg (although this smaller hole is not essential is you wish to remove the locating peg). The mast can be adjusted to any angle 0° to 90° to match the line of the windscreen a preferred rake, or achieve optimum signal strength.

Superior in performance and looks to a wing mounted manual aerial and ideal if you wish to avoid drilling new or restored wing or fender panels, or to avoid installing a wing mounted aerial that is more vulnerable to damage.

We have listed this in eBay's compatibility data for classic models which often have roof mounted aerials. The list is for guidance to probable applications only. Please identify suitability for your own make model and year of vehicle, which will be determined by the curvature and profile of the roof at the desired mounting point, accessibility to the underside of the roof panel, that is free of internal obstruction. Fitting is normally achieved by removal of the interior light or mirror or dropping the leading edge of the roof lining.
