Dinky Toys 40J Austin Sumerset

The Dinky Toys 40J Austin Somerset, released in 1953, is a wonderful example of Dinky Toys craftsmanship in the early 1950s. This model is based on the real Austin Somerset, a popular British family car produced by the Austin Motor Company from 1952 to 1954. The Somerset was known for its classic, rounded lines and solid performance, and was a familiar sight on British roads in the years following World War II.

The Dinky Toys model of the Austin Somerset is part of the famous 40 series, which included several iconic cars from that era. This example, although in a played-with condition, still retains the charm of its era. The signs of use tell the story of a toy that has brought joy to generations, and make it a valuable item for collectors who cherish the history of Dinky Toys.

Despite the signs of intensive use, this model retains its historical value. It reflects an era when Dinky Toys were loved by children and at the same time reflected the booming motor industry in post-war Britain. The Dinky Toys 40J Austin Somerset is a nostalgic toy that has stood the test of time. Made in England.
