Miniatures news, September 1977

As a further Silver Jubilee tribute, Meccano of Liverpool have produced a Dinky miniature of the Austin London taxicab, finished in Jubilee livery, as driven by HRH Prince Charles in a TV appearance. These little 112 mm.-long models were ready three weeks before the full-size specially-decorated taxi, having taken Meccano less than weeks to produce. They have opening doors, seats, windows, etc. and retail in the UK for £2.10 each. The Dinky reference number is 241.
