Regarding that 68 2000TC,There was a factory AM/FM radio  for the 2000TC, I 
have one, I will take good photos, and put them on my ebay store tomorrow; 
if anyone is curious what it looks like, along with a description. I think 
the same radio was used with a "Leyland" logo on the plastic dial face. I 
think I saw one that had a" Volvo" faceplate, also.Air conditioned cars had 
no space for a radio, as the Delenaire evaporator took up all the console 
space. My 69 2000TC had AC, but no radio, I put one in the left shinbin, and 
open it to use the radio. The usual fitment, was a bevelled radio plate, 
that allowed the radio to be fitted through the drivers' shin bin, and 
remain level- Necessary, because the shinbin is at an angle. I have one in 
my ebay store, also, if you are curious what it looks like.I  also have a 
bracket that allows a Sanyo rotary to be bolted to the original York AC 
base. James Dean, (jaguru at bellsouth.net) Old English Motor Company.
