Dinky Toys 486 Beats Morris 1913 Oxford Bullnose W/ all 3 figures Nice Condition! You get the one actually pictured. You can see it is in nice, vintage complete condition! NO RETURNS. What a great model! BACKSTORY: The Dinky Beats model appeared in 1965 as the Beatles were topping the charts. Of course there wasn’t a direct link to the group as that would have incurred a licence fee payment. The three mop haired guitar playing figures driving in a ‘FAB’ labelled car were a tribute to the group and others of a similar ilk, such as the Kinks. Note the labels FAB and Kinky . The Meccano Magazine (June 1965) explained “It had to happen! With Meccano Limited being based in Liverpool and Liverpool being the centre of the current ‘beat’ music craze, it was only a matter of time before Dinky models became involved with the ‘Mersey sound” The car is based on the 476 Morris Oxford (Bull Nose) which had also come out in 1965. But why choose a Bull Nose Morris? Well they already had a model that could be adapted, the 476 Morris Oxford Bull Nose, and also the Beatles first manager Allan Williams owned a Morris Oxford Bull Nose which he’d bought in 1959 and had ferried the Beatles around in.
