"This is the original radio out of my Australian assembled '62 MGA 1600 Mk2.
The radio would have been manufactured in Australia, but there is no logo or identifying mark anywhere that I can find. It's as you can see, very large, and it's very heavy. (It weighs 5 lbs!) Local car radio manufacturers of the period included AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australasia), Ferris and HMV. I'm almost certain this radio would have been sourced from one of these companies.

I've had the original radio out of my MGA identified by a classic car radio restorer this week. It's an AWA Cruiser 6.
