Talking 1964? MK2 B.M.C.D. Custom AM radio

Hello All.
I registered to this forum to ask the experts if they can verify/identify an AM radio for me.
My friend buys stuff from auction houses, and recently purchased a large box of miscellaneous items. In it was the aforementioned radio.







Using Google and the "B.M.C.D. Custom" on the face of the radio, it came up as being for a 1964 Jaguar MK2.

Can anyone verify this for me?

Default Hello from the BC Fraser Valley

Sorry, Forgot to say hello before posting my thread regarding the radio.
Truth be told, I joined this forum mainly to get info about a radio, and if there may be any interest in it from someone doing a restoration.

Based on my user name, it goes without saying that i'm a Chevy guy, and am partial to classic musclecars. I DO love me a beautiful E-Type however. SEXY!!!

Oh, Forgot to mention...
I did hook 12V and a speaker up to the radio (no antenna), and it does send a static signal to the speaker.

Welcome to the forum BowtieGent,

My 1960's and 70's Jaguars were fitted with Motorola radios but this could have been only for the UK market. Members in the https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/m...40-daimler-61/ forum will know if the B.M.C.D. was fitted for other markets or used as a dealer fitment.

YES - it's going to be the best way to get the question to those likely to know the answer.

Welcome. I posted a response in the MK1/MK2/etc., Classics forum. The photos show a bracket for an under-dash mount, so it may have been also originally installed on a non-Jaguar British make. A Hillman Minx of that era used in under-dash mounting bracket similar to the one pictured, for example...
