I Know what you mean.
Cortinas were made out of real metal not the mamby pamby metal foil they use now on cars.
A landy FFR with the twin matching boxes on the wings was indestructable.
Many a time I'd plug my rig into the aerials bypassing the Clansman. Still got the adapter lead!

I also had an old lada. Fitted with 2 co phased 3 meter whips on the rear fins. The aerials broke before the Russian steel even rippled!

Memories!
