Just wondered if this was fitted to TRs,  Saloons ?

Not a great picture , but shows what's needed !

Cheers,  Conrad.

Well 11 is one more than 10........

Those look like medium-wave markings in kiloHertz.  (540 to 1600).  Who would have bought a MW only set ? Surely not UK market ?

I think that “AM only” radios were popular in the USA in the 1970’s, which is where I would guess this radio came from.
Apparently there were not so many FM stations in the States until the early 1980’s, and so AM was all that was needed. I don't think they bothered with LW in the cars, so they had Medium Wave only.

An interesting fact is that Volume controls only ever went up to 10, until a bloke who made amplifiers for Spinal Tap made an improved amplifier that was so loud that the dial had to go up to 11.

Its a US market one Conrad and variants of this manufactured by either Bendix or Audiovox were indeed fitted to the TR6 by the Triumph Dealers in the USA. I have to say that I have been looking for one for a while.

cheers
