They do appear on eBay from time to time but are creeping up in price as standard seems to be more desirable. When I got my coupe my local dealer had a new old stock Philips cd changer that I bought but the under seat brackets are pretty much made of unobtainium

The sound was pretty poor so I replaced the head unit with an age related Alpine unit. May be worth asking on the Rover coupe owners club Facebook page or the RCOC forum. There’s also the Rover 200 and 400 club Facebook page and online forum, and also the R8 enthusiast page on Facebook. But, any photos of the coupe?

I have to admit, I fitted a Rover badged BMW business CD unit to mine, nice sound quality while retaining the original (ish) look,

These are Blaupunkt units, the rover part number is XQE100380

Surprisingly enough, you can still buy the volume knobs and fixing screw covers new from your local BMW dealer.
