  I have a Sony 2001, and it works very weell.  Ther model 2002,
the revision, is basically the same but with a few improvements.

  The 2002 is about $175 from 47th street Photo in New York.  For slightly
less money ($125), you can get a Panasonic RF6500 from the same place.  I
hear sound quality is comprable to the 2002, but less sensitivity and 
selectivity than the digital 2002.

  Finally, for about $60 you can get a Panasonic RF083 which is supposed
to be fine in Europe (where stations are quitte strong).

  For more current info, consult the 1985 Radio/TV Handbook, which will
have up to date reviews and info.


  As far as the car goes, there is a book around (terribly out of date)
called  <<How to Buy a Used Volkswagen in Europe>>.

  My parents used it to do just that when we were there in 1974 on sabbatical.
