Radio for 1965 230 SL

Yes, I have gone through the old forum posts but found no definitive answer.

What model of the Becker radios were fitted to the 1965 230 SL? The Europa or Grand Prix or any?

I am still waiting for my datacard, which should settle it once and for all but I'm in the mood for conversations tonight!  Man, am I active tonight???

Mine is a Grand Prix, but I seem to recall that that was the model fitted to German-delivery cars bound for the US...?

The Becker Europa TR is also typically found in 230 SLs.

(Regardless of which you choose, make sure you get the right knobs.)

Mine was a Grand Prix, probably the 4-band because it was originally an Italian car.

Eryck,

Something to keep in mind.

The dash opening of the 230sl and early 250sl was smaller than the later 250 and 280 sl's.
