An exceptional and rare version fit to grace any Dinky collection. Rare factory error with 197 Morris baseplate & 199 Austin body shell.
This Mini-Traveller model is finished in ivory with a vivid red interior, bright wheels and a matt baseplate. Extremely rare version note the Austin (and not the expected Morris) grille!

For comparison only, please see this example with the Austin grille on the left and the standard example with the Morris grille on the right:
