Notes
Last issue prior to the two-tone models, this particular example has a distinctive stone (grey-brown) finish with light tan ridged wheels, small baseplate print, ‘Morris Oxford’ cast into the underside of the roof. Mere dot or two visible upon close inspection.
Presents well:
Minor dulling/marking to the baseplate. Original smooth black tyres run well.
Note that one of the wheel hubs protrudes more than is usual ( as-made).
The lighter yellow pictorial box is in spectacular, mint condition! Correct colour spot. Feels as if it has been carefully prised open once or twice ever.
More often this colour version is found in the dual-numbered box. This is one of the early 159 boxes with single colour models pictured.
