Introduced to the range in 1990 the "Sainsburys" Morris was supposed to be released in a blue livery but the Sainsburys management preferred that the vehicle be painted an authentic brown so fortunately for us collectors the brown livery was chosen and we never wound up with a third blue Y-19. The model had a black chassis and a white roof, Chrome 12 spoke wheels and radiator with a black grille.
