The best are Autoart, MiniChamps and Sunstar l have no experience yet of Biante or Otto although l gather they are good,

What scale do you plan on collecting? You will need deep deep pockets if you want to take it seriously

Agree with Mike.
Autoart, Minichamps and Sunstar good for details etc.
Sunstar used to be great value (£25 for MK1 and MK2 Escorts).
Otto is fairly new, made from resin, but detail is very good.
Biante is great detail but prices are very expensive as they come from Australia.
Personally I focused on 1:18 Ford models which include all the above makes.
But you will need deep pockets these days due to the diecast metal prices increasing greatly.
Nevertheless a good investment (even the wife believes me now as I have over 400)
