D161
Dinky 161 Austin Somerset Saloon. Scarce cream & black issue. Near mint plus/unboxed. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
This is the sought after late two-tone issue made towards the end of the run 1956-59. Presents well with a pleasing sheen to the paint finish.
Little casting mark on the roof has a factory dab of perfectly matched paint (so the factory touch-in is only visible under magnification), and a few very minor marks besides. Minor ‘spidering’ to the base. Treaded tyres run well.
