    Depends on the car, and Minichamps took over Pauls model art so they are the same if its a 310 or 310b and I think a few others.. For a 70s car I would look at Exoto.

    Same company, two names. PMA for company itself, Minichamps for models, I think...

    Paul's Model Art/Minichamps is the same I thought? I have a F50 the top of the case says Paul's Model Art the bottom of the car says Minichamps if I recall.

    Paul's Model Art GmbH is the parent company, Minichamps was a product line and later a company in its' own right. Some early models are branded as PMA, some models, I think, carried the owner's last name - Lang.
