I'm not sure when they started making them, but I believe you can still buy them new over-the-counter in NZ.
cheers

I have a Dec. 2000 order form that shows that Micro Models had 3 different FE Utes 2 FE Sedans 2 FC Station Wagons(White and Red 500,000th) and a grey FC station wagon
The address is Micro Models Ltd.,P.O. box 815, Christchurch 8001, New Zealand
Phone No. 00116433655016
I ordered and recieved the three utes about 8 months ago and had no problems
They also sent a coloured 5 page brochure on the models but I dont know if these are all still available
Prices ranged from NZ$40 to NZ$55
Hope this helps

I read your query regarding Micro Models quite some time ago and have been meaning to respond. I apologise for the delay.
Prior to the introduction of the modern diecast models, Micro Models were probably the best known local producers of scale model cars.
Their history dates back to 1952 and, in one form or another, goes through to the present day. Following the demise of the original production in 1958, there have been a number of entrepreneurial attempts to reintroduce Micro. These efforts have met with varying success in both quality and range.
Basically there have been six lives, each with its own own distinct and unique qualities. These were –
1. 1952-58
original series manufactured By Goodwood Productions
2. Late 50s & early 60s
manufactured under licence by Lincoln Industries in NZ
3. mid 70s
manufactured in NZ by companies associated with the Meates family in NZ
4. early 80s
plastic FJ models by Micromodels of WA
5. mid 80s
association between Weico and Model Cars of the World
6. from 1994
Micro Models from Christchurch NZ
Holden production was limited to FX, FJ, FE and FC.
As far as FE & FCs go - across the manufacturers there were FE Sedans and Utilities in varying, styles colors and appointments, a number of FC Station Wagons and at least one attempt at an FC Panel Van.
In all, I would think there would have been at least 25 different variations.
Hope this is of some interest.

Hi Bryan,
yes I'd love a brochure, and also any local model shops there where I could track down some of the older FC models. I have the grey FC Station wagon and a FE ute, I'd like to get one of each of the FC's that they've made. Thanks for your help
