However, I’ve just recently bought a bigger house so I’m starting to look through the boxes of Eric Russell’s part’s I bought when he sold his stuff, it includes several radios. So I may have one, but more importantly I have several of various brands in that case size, so I may be able to help you out with the Riley.

>> My early 2000TC came with a dealer-installed "Le Chaperon" AM/FM radio fitted, branded "Davis Radio Corp". Davis seems to have been a company that imported Japanese radios from OEMs and put their brand on it. The car also came with a paper from the dealer extolling the virtues of this option, and it appears to be a quasi-official Rover choice for a radio.

>> 1.) Has anyone else seen one of these radios?
>> 2.) Does anyone have any additional information on these radios?
>> 3.) Does anyone have another?

>> I'm planning on sending mine out for repair and to have an Aux input added so I can play my phone through the car's radio. It's a nice enough radio, and the right case size to perhaps fit in my Riley's dashboard, so if anyone has one laying about, please let me know!
