Dinky toys 40j austin somerset saloon hh694 base

Shiny base. ‘Austin Somerset’ cast on the underside of the roof.
A few tiny rubs and mini=ute examination under magnification finds a few very small retouches.
The harder to find early box bears both the old numbering 40J and not the later numbering 161 (the change-over occurring in 1954). A little grubbiness/wear.
A very difficult colour variation to find.
