I have acquired very recently a Blaupunk Berlin ATR transistor radio. Whilst the unit itself is a 'universal' piece, the dashboard facia trims were (usually) tailored to suit specific cars. I have spent a considerable time Googlebashing it to no luck. Bearing in mind the radio is of a 1961/2 vintage, has anyone come across a car that has a dashboard this would 'suit'?  PS: If anyone would like to own this magnificent piece of ICE it will be for sale and it is working. PM me if you want more info. PPS: It's not from a Sunbeam Alpine |

Being a German unit is it reasonable to guess it might come from a German car? Borgward? Wartburg? Volkswagen? Porsche 356?

That looks really familiar Rich, cant quite place it. Know it is not a 356 fitment as they went in from the back with the stamping in/on the dashboard - also happened to have a family friend over yesterday that was driving a 356 C... P.  |

The fascia makes me think it's from something Italian

It’ll fit a 356, it’s a rear mounted unit same as used in the 356, just without the facia. |

Yea, I know about it, found that site, just wouldn’t mind knowing what the specific facia is for.  |
