IXO 1/43 SCALE - 1965 MORRIS MINI VAN - ROYAL MAIL


This model dates from 1965 but the year letter C is missing. The registration number typeface is wrong too. To our eye, side on, the van seems too long and thin. From the front it captures the look well. The rear has mesh covered windows and there's a door security bar. Buy it now.
