This page is devoted to music equipment from the 1960s / 1970s, with a particular emphasis on equipment provided as standard or as an option for Jensen cars. We are always interested to purchase music equipment as fitted to Jensen cars
A rare Voxson series 'Jensen flap' Radiomobile radio / '8' track player Jensen Motors had Voxson manufacture some units with a branded '8' track flap bearing the name 'Jensen', these were beautifully finished with a black impressed 'Jensen' name on a stainless steel flap. This unit has survived in overall excellent condition, with a perfect radio display and perfect 'Jensen' flap; even the chromed buttons have remained in perfect condition, along with the milled end finish. The unit is complete with its seperate separate amp (often missing), along with all leads and is working fine, but as with all old radio should be checked by a specialist before fitting.
A rare 108 series 'Jensen flap' Radiomobile radio / '8' track player Jensen Motors had Radiomobile manufacture some units with a branded '8' track flap bearing the name 'Jensen'. Initially these were finished in chrome with the Jensen name in black, and fitted to MK.I FF and Interceptors and some earlier MK.II cars. Later in the MK.II range (and also for the MK.III), the flap colour was changed to dark brown / black and the Jensen name was in silver. This particular '108' series unit is of that later specification, and has a particularly good condition front panel. The flap has survived in excellent condition and the unit has perfect knobs. The unit is working fine but as with all old radio should be checked by a specialist before fitting.
The classic model 970 / 980 Radiomobile as fitted to earlier Mk.I FFs and
Interceptors Of all the Radiomobile models the 970 / 980 is the hardest to find, since it was the most expensive, and only fitted to cars such as Rolls Royce, Bentley and Jensen.
Typically fitted to all earlier Mk.I FFs and Interceptors. Check the
chassis file details for your car from Richard Calver's chassis data
book, if the Voxson is not shown, then your car would have had this
radio. Case survives in excellent condition with full Radiomobile label still present. Fully working, but as with all radio equipment, we would advise the unit having a check over before fitting. Possibly you would like the unit upgraded for Mp3 and FM also. See information about the Vintage Wireless Company within the 8 Track history page. The image to the right shows a 970 / 980 model Radiomobile radio in 119/018 (photographed by Michael Cooper in 1967 / 68).

This particular '108' series unit is of that later specification. It has survived in excellent external condition, and still bears the full Radiomobile '108' specification panel to the top along with the serial numbering. The unit is working fine but as with all old radio should be checked by a specialist before fitting.

It has survived in very good to excellent external condition, and still bears the full Radiomobile '108' specification panel to the top. The unit will undoubtedly need an overhaul at a vintage wireless specialist before fitting, and the knobs need to be obtained (a vintage wireless specialist would probably hold these).
