Subject: Re: Original electric aerial
I've found the original Lucas motor which powered the electric aerial on my car; it's the same motor used by RR for various things including aerials (see image below). I think the chances of me finding a complete unit are almost zero. I could buy a few RR aerials and motors and try and adapt something but this would cost a lot and may not end up with a working aerial.
So I guess this is why modern aerials are installed - such a shame someone threw away the original - it was probably repairable.
