About Minichamps
Minichamps is a die-cast car producer founded as Paul's Model Art GmbH in 1990 in Germany. The company officially changed its name to Minichamps GmbH in 1996. It produces die-cast models of the following categories: Formula 1, Racing cars, Street Cars, Motorcycles, Trucks & Buses, Military vehicles. The excellent quality of Minichamps' die-cast models has been appreciated by the car manufacturers many of whom, like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and BMW, have entrusted Minichamps with the production of official car replicas, and by the model car collectors. In fact some of their 1/43 scale models are some of the most sought after and most expensive die-cast cars. Maybe the best example is the McLaren F1 GTR West Promotion model made by Minichamps as a promo for the West cigarette company and which trades for well over $1000 on ebay.
A small line of 1:64 models was introduced, but later discontinued. The line was called "Micro Champs" and included a series "Michael Schumacher", "McLaren", but were sold separately as well. Series can be divided also into "DTM", "Formula 1", "Indycar" and well.. the rest. (Information thanks to the Wikipedia website)
