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.

AUTOART is the best to get in models

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!
