D161
Dinky 40J/161 Austin Somerset Saloon. Near mint plus/boxed. Red issue. From a small collection of exciting, high quality, one owner from new models.
Notes
A fine and lustrous version of this classic Austin Somerset Saloon model in bright red with matching ridged wheels.
Note the stray flick of factory silver on the roof.
Rather dulled baseplate now. Smooth, well-shaped original tyres.
Minor roof rub and a couple of negligible marks if you peer really closely. Minor rough casting in places.
Such a vivid box! This dual-numbered box shows minimal handling (couple of light creases). Correct colour spot at the end flap. No tears. Period price at an end flap. .
