140b and 156 Rover 75 Saloon (1951-59)

Greetings All In the New Arrivals Thread, I posted several pictures of my latest Rover acquisition that shows it in cream with red hubs. (For those interested, Jacques posted a comment explainig why there is a plethora of various coloured ridged wheels in the New Arrivals Thread, so no need to repeat it here, unless Jacques will kindly copy and paste his comments here so that a record is in this 140a/156 Thread.) So, here it is, warts and all, a version in cream with RED hubs, both sides and base plate. As stated in NEW ARRIVALS, the interior colour that appears to be some sort of blue, is actually cream overspray. These are pictures from the auction house, and in time I will photograph the little bestie, and add these. Kind regards Bruce 2021/1708/1151/1224

Bruce, welcome back to the forum. The Dinky Toys feeling will never go away and it remains fun if you manage to buy a special item like this one. I wish you all the best. Jan Oldenhuis

Hi Bruce, I am glad to see you back on line. I was wandering about you. The Rover with red hubs is listed in the Encyclopaedia. The cream Rover has been fitted with cream, green, maroon, red or mid blue hubs. Any other ? In the GBDT Mike does not describe the hubs, only the body colours. Do take care. Jacques
