Hi Mattrove,
Good to see you here. Gavin is on the forum too.
There has been a few of these for sale on trade me recently.
I wrote an article for MICA on them once and Robert Newton has a web site about them.
Someone cleverer than me on a computer could probably google it and post it on this thread.

Cheers Steve

Finally got some pictures of my Lincoln toys without to much flash. Also a few Fun Ho Land Rovers and other copies of the 12A Land Rover.

They are nearly impossible to find here in the US as well. Wonderful collection you have.

mattrove (Matt)... you may not be aware that with the exception of the Dump Truck, the two tone models were only made in Hong Kong and released for the UK market but apparently not the NZ market which only appears to have had the single colour models (once abundant and now increasingly scarce). An Auckland friend remembers seeing the models for sale in McKenzies' Department Stores in bulk bins by the hundreds (unpackaged and unpainted) towards the end of their production in NZ.

I have quite a lot of these models both boxed, blister-packed and loose and will try to post some photos of my models later...

Hi Ian

Thanks for the post. Be great to see pictures when you get a chance of what you have. Since the photos I have been able to add two single carded models, a multi pack and a few more boxed models. Yes I knew the two tone paint models are Hong Kong, but interesting have got two of these in New Zealand. In the photo's I did not but them in the corner with the Hong Kong ones I got overseas.

I understand there was also one 1/43 ish Lincoln model, and if this is right I have it in three warn colours. I also have some of the much later racing cars that are NZ made models from Penny dies.
