Anyone else notice the glazing unit on the Mini Countryman?

Looks like the wrong unit, but I've checked against my other version. Right unit just misfitted.

Bizarre, Mint error, who would have thought.

It does look rather odd, it looks too small because it does not reach the front screen aperture and then it does not reach the rear door area!

Can we see a picture of the model 'side on', so we are looking at just one whole side of the car.

The wheels on your Riviera are usually the design fitted to the Chrysler Imperial, not the Riviera, so yes, as "Fox" says that is also a gem piece. The Mini Traveller with the cast hubs I had from new so I am used to seeing this one and does not make such an impact with me... :D

Nice additions as always!

This Riviera variant is not rare. I found many ones just looking at ebay.
I even bought one, mint and boxed for £46. When recieving it I will be happy to have a gold, a sky blue, and then a metalic blue one.

More great examples from my Childhood, even the Dinky interloper Mercedes 600 pullman... :D

Came across this lot, bought it predominantly for the Dinky Citroen Cammionette, which was described in the listing as a Blue Truck. No mention of Dinky whatsoever. So I picked up the whole lot for less than half what the Citroen goes for.

The Corgi Chipperfields items are in excellent complete condition and make great additions to my collection in there own right.
