This manufacturer, originating from Singapore first used the name 'LH' when they presented a series of halfdone but promising modelcars at the 1985 Nuremberg Toy Fair. A year after that the name was changed to 'Miber' but models were still not available. Apart from founding an import company in Neu-Isenburg, Germany in 1988 there was not much business activity. Then, Miber began advertising it's models more often and they were finally available in a few hobby shops. In 1990 their headquarters was moved to Bielefeld, Germany. Meanwhile the main emphasis had been set on racing models with decals and fine prints, whereas the normal program remained interesting but - in terms of quality - dissatisfactional. Moreover their information policy has often been criticised and a lot of models have been announced but were never made. Miber definitely presented some new models in 1994 but soon after that the production ceased.

On the 87thScale messageboard Mark Maticek told this very interesting story:

Apparently the Honda Civic and the Honda NSX have both been made but may never have made it to your dealer's shelves.

Catalogue scans:

This is how the list works: column 1 lists the cat# before 1989, column 2 lists the cat# after 1989, column 3 lists the cat# for the versions with metallic paint. Columns 4 to 6 are selfexplanatory. If there is an 'X' in colum 7, the model was announced but never produced, if there is red asterisk (*) in column 5 the model has been shown at the 1995 Nuremberg Toyfair.
