Hi Ian,
The Rolls Royce you refer to is in my New Zealand Matchbox thread.

Thank's Ian for doing that.

If any members have additions that they think are missing from the categories, could they 'PM' them to Ian so he can add them to the relevant section or post here on the forum if you have pictures as well, thank's.

Are these what you want to see Ian ? I have some others somewhere. I'll have to dig them out. I think the boxed models are yours!

Here are mine, at least I think they are all Lincoln toys. I stand to be corrected. Just got these and was looking for a place to put them, hence dredging up an old thread.

Very cool collection! Did you get hem in Canada? Seem to all have the same type wheels. If they are small. seem to be very similar to Fun Ho! from New Zealand!

Dave - they are all NZ Lincoln Toys with the possible exception of the green tractor... I've never seen this model before and would like to know its dimensions. As far as I'm aware (and I have an extensive collection of the NZ Lincoln "Matchbox Series" and "Motorway Minis") the only tractor was the red Massey (?). I've done some work on recording my collection with several models that can be found under the Search facility on my web site and a page on Lincoln at http://toysnz.com/LincolnToysOfNewZealand

BTW - that's one huge Gallery... took forever to get to the bottom of the page!
