The AutoArt 3dr Cosworths are by far the best.

Some Minichamps models are good. My favourite is the MK1 Escort RS1600 AVO, but there's a gulf in quality between the 3drs. Well worth paying the extra.

As already said,the AutoArt model are the highest detailed,i was in London last weekend & a shop had a moonstone one which was £69.99,the guy in the shop said any new AutoArt models that he will get will go up to at least £89.99 each i have three minichamps 3dr Sierra Cosworths (white-black-moonstone) they on average are £29.99 to £39.99 each depending where you get them.You could have ago at trimming the interior yourselve,iv'e used felt in the past for carpets,& i think you can get 'flocking powder' to use on seats etc.

I really rate Sunstar models, especially for the price!

AutoArt are the best though!
