Just about the only radios that come with LW these days are Ford (and
not all of those) and afterfit models by Blaupunkt, Philips, and the odd
JVC and Sony. Certainly pretty well none of the standard fit in Vauxhall
or VAG do.

at a big Hifi exhibition in London in the 1970s, a very senior Japanese
from one of the stands came to the BBC stand and asked, through an
interpreter: "what is this thing called Long Wave that people want?"

That's odd. I was under the impressions that the Japanese *did* use LW,
unlike the Americans, and so all Japanese cars had it.
