Notes
Re-numbered from 40J in 1954, this Austin Somerset Saloon Dinky model has a pleasing pale blue finish with mid-blue ridged wheels and a generally bright baseplate (few little ‘mottled’ marks).
Fine original silver detailing at radiator, bumpers and headlights. Few tiny marks to the paint finish.
The box is crisp and vividly-coloured, with all end flaps intact. Minor handling wear only. Shopkeeper’s period price at an end flap. Correct colour spot.
