The ground wire on the TR7 did.

OK,

According to the schematics, the wiring is there for all cars. Purple wire in line with the Boot Lamp Switch wiring, the White/Purple wire from the radio (look under the rubber mat on the right hand side of the boot for the ribbon cable) and a back ground wire.

Well I had a rummage in the boot of the TR8 today & guess what I found behind the right hand boot trim? A connector with wiring just like Clay describes. It is a female 3 way T shape plug, the wiring for the boot lamp loops off it. If you could find a matching male plug then a very neat way to wire your electric aerial.

Now why did BL put the connector on the opposite side from the aerial location?
