Both of these are Penny Racer scale.
First a Lin Toy Stunt Riders Bronco

Second a Porsche from Sanrio

I have been aware of Sanrio for the last 12 years because of all the Hello Kitty merchandise that I first saw in Hong Kong and then everywhere.

Did I finally stump the folks on HT?

My internet is acting up (Can't view photoshop - something about connection being reset), but I believe the Bronco is by ljn, not lin, they are probably most famous for the "Rough Riders" which competed with the Stompers, these are just like the mini penny racer size versions and called something else.

Closer inspection and it is LJN...thanks

The Sanrio Porsche 930 is probably a Eraser vehicle with a friction motor.

The "LJN" is a "Stunt Riders" - Here is pictures of my own still in package.

I'm unsure of date for your wife's or mine other then on car 1982 (if it was a Hot Wheels that would mean 1983 was the first release probably).

Little added info LJN is connected to "Universal" - the same "Universal" that bought Matchbox in this era.

My LJN - STUNT RIDERS - FORD BRONCO

My Package Back - shows other models and how they work.

Great Finds for your Wife's collection! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Some Afterthought Info -

There are Matchbox packaged versions of the Stunt Riders - later release -
that I never seen a base of a Matchbox one so I don't know if they are different bases but according to Charlie Mack's "Universal's Matchbox Toys" -
some of the LJN and Kidco products were placed also in Matchbox packages without any change to the toys - other then the packages.

And there where several different products - first one coming to mind are Kidco Key Cars changed into Matchbox packaging for certain markets.
