In real life, the Austin 1300 was classed as an economical small family car, manufactured between 1962 and 1974 by BMC/British Leyland. Here we see it for its third Oxford Diecast outing in another authentic colour scheme of white showing up to perfection the contrasting chrome finish. The roof is black as is the interior of the car, which is registered LPG 192K from 1971/2. A finite detail sees the GT marque printed in silver and red on the radiator and the 1300 GT specification printed on the back.
