Shiny base. ‘Austin Somerset’ cast on the underside of the roof.
A few tiny marks only.
The harder to find early box bears both the old numbering 40J and not the later numbering 161 (the change-over occurring in 1954). Correct colour spot at the end flaps. A little handling wear including the tiniest start of a tear. Period price at an end flap.
A very difficult colour variation to find.
