Bosch Blue Tip Antenna

#1 Post by Paul Hatfield »

I think we have all seen numerous cars with Bosch Blue Tipper antennas- particularly on C cars. We know they came with either a round base or one shipped like a race track. I am interested in owners of very original cars who have a Bosch Blue Tip antenna with either base. Even better if the radio shows on your Kardex. I have one on my car, but I cannot claim it to be original.

Anyone out there with a car with known provenance having this feature? Trying to demonstrate that Hirschmann was not the only factory supplier during C Production.
