Well I’m back chasing interference etc and trying to improve my radio setup again…. What does anyone else do or has the world gone to Bluetooth speakers or good old headphones!!??

Good carbon HT leads, & / or suppressed HT caps. And all should be OK.

I run a radio / bluetooth in my 1966 S & it works really well.

Hi

Is that Bluetooth phone to radio for streaming? Is you radio converted or do you use an aux input/ cassette din input for a Bluetooth receiver?
Cheers

I have both types on different cars. The one with retro fitted bluetooth is certainly less aggro, but the sound quality is good on both.

It is interesting to see a discussion about radios. I still have my old Sharp radio/cassette player however, the only time I use it is when I am working in my garage. Whether it is peculiar to my 68 S or not, the level of engine noise/vibration virtually forbids it's use out on the road. As my now ex-wife commented on a night out some years ago when we went out to try to resolve our issues "it kills the art of conversation", I had carefully picked her favourite music to add to the ambience which went unnoticed - perhaps she just didn't like me.

My current wife doesn't like riding in my Mini, which works in my favour - I am free to enjoy the experience and relive my hooligan days
