May be a little late but hear goes.
As I understand, the radio was a common add-on at the dealers and in the US
Motorola was probably the most common supplied with the BJ8. My 64BJ8P1 was
dealer (Pontiac/Austin Healey) ordered with a radio and delivered with only
the antenna. After a few weeks of dealing with a confused dealer, I made a
complaint and visit to the US importer/distributor located in northern NJ and
was provided with a BMC AM transistor positive ground push button radio with a
clear plastic face plate with b British Motor Corporation stamp below the
numbers. After having changed to negative ground, the radio has been on the
shelf in case I ever convert back. Examining the radio, all paper stickers
were lost over the years and there was no manufacturer stamped into the metal.
A very faint outline that may have come from an original sticker seems to be
b Long Ten_e S28750b .
Good luck with your search,
Ray Carbone (64BJ8P1)
