Why not? We see plenty of late-issue models here in NZ, including from this early '60s period. I think like most other markets, there was a reasonably constant flow of models to NZ from quite early on in Lesney's history judging by what turns up regularly now.

good news to report...finally got a fine tread model...the spare is knobby...very nice condition...the price wasnt bad either!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
