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.
The model was to be packaged in the then new clear plastic boxes so a screw hole had to be drilled into the baseplate for the model to be secured inside the box, To do this the "Models Of" lettering had to be relocated to make room for the screw hole.

The production run was 60,000.

Livery: (Tampo)
'BLUE KADDY TEA' in blue on right side of roof and 'DELICIOUS DAIRY BUTTER' in blue on left side of roof.
'J. SAINSBURY' in gold with pale blue shadow effect and '66, WESTERN ROAD BRIGHTON' in gold on both van sides and on rear door.
'632' in gold on bottom corner of van sides.

Variations/Rarities: The "Blue Caddy Tea" and Delicious Dairy Butter" lettering on the roof sides can be blue or navy blue.
