GENERAL INFO

The small 46A Morris Minor 1000 came in first in 1958 in a short B2 box. The model, in red with yellow wheels and hubs, was show in from of a light background and large model numbers on each side. A B3 box followed, then a larger B4 in size 3. The drawing did not change and even the model numbers remained intact, making the 46A of the few models that only had one drawing pattern in its entire lifetime. The only change was basically the stretching of the picture to fit the large size.

RARITY

The B2 and B3 small boxes are the most common seen with this model. The larger B4 box is harder to find.
