D159
Dinky 159 Morris Oxford Saloon. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce in stone with light tan wheels. Superb box from 1954! From The Berkshire Collection.
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:
Shiny 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. Crisp , fresh feel.
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.
