Mate I told you a WR1 is special.

Wherever you go the signal is beamed to the rear screen..



The heater in the screen doubles up as an aerial. I believe ?

Would make sense as the Wagon and Foz have the aerial in the "estate"windows.

Many have been known to think it was a heated element.

Strangely some Bugeyes have aerials in the drivers door pillar while others have them in the rear screen.

Probably explains why I pretty much lose any radio station whilst I have the heated rear window on.
