1 Dinky Toys

Dinky Toys released the Morris 1100 in 1963 as model N140. It was issued in light blue with silver trim and a red interior and steering wheel. The model had good suspension, a black tinplate and fingertip control steering.

This toy was purchased in a red and yellow picture box with amazing pictures and a list of the model’s features on the side. These included: opening bonnet, detailed engine, prestomatic steering, 4-wheel suspension, windows, seats, steering wheel and rubber tyres.

It was available until 1969 and is currently listed in the Ramsay’s British Diecast Catalogue with a value of between £60 and £70.

2 Tri-ang

Tri-ang also introduced a model of the Morris 1100 in 1963 as part of its Spot-On range of cars. Released as model No.262 and had several features including an opening bonnet, suspension, a detailed interior, rubber tyres with chrome hubs and chrome trim to the front and rear of the car for the bumpers.

As with all Spot-On toys, this model appears to have been produced in several colours and presently has a value of £80 to £110.

In 1964, Tri-ang released the MG 1100 as model No.267 and added to the Spot-On stable. The ‘MG’ was essentially the same car but with a different grille and was finished in a two-tone colour scheme. This was one of the toys that was eventually manufactured in New Zealand. The current value of this harder to find issue is now listed as £120-£150.

5 OK Toys

Whichever choice you made, or present you received, the Morris 1100 was a toy representing a very popular British-made car that would have been a familiar site on our roads during the 1960s.
