===Collectible manufacturers and locations=== Manufacturers focusing on premium models, usually in white metal and sometimes resin, include [[Brooklin Models]], [[Western Models]], Enchantment Land, Conquest / Madison, Durham Classics, Elegance Models, Mini Auto Emporium, Mini Marque, Motor City USA, Tron, Starter, RacingModels, SMTS and Victory.{{sfn|Olson|2008|pp=137–154}} Several of these started production in the 1970s and 1980s and were handmade in the United States, Canada, or England with the occasional constructor in France, Belgium or the Netherlands. A couple of geographical oddities include [[Sergio Goldvarg|Goldvarg]] (made in Argentina) and some early Milestone Models which were made in South Africa. [[Mail order]] companies like [[Franklin Mint]] and [[Danbury Mint]] also focus on the collector market, though in a more popular vein. [[File:CMC Maserati 250 F.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Maserati 250F|Maserati 250]] Grand Prix model.]] Since 2000, more than fifty different diecast, resin and white metal manufacturers in England, France, Italy, Ukraine and Russia have exploded onto the adult collector market. These include Spark which focus on motorsport such as 24h Le Mans and F1, Bizarre is the brand dedicated to the unusual and extraordinary in the car world, FDS, YOW Modellini (from Japan) and many others. Since 2000, companies like Altaya, Ixo, and Model Car World (for example, with its White Box line) have been started in Europe β with production increasingly seen in China. Many of these producers have focused on global auto marques producing vehicles that were produced in Russia or Brazil. Some of these companies only produce kits β others produce kits and build them up to order. Still others are professional kit builders, who do not produce the kits themselves.{{Citation needed|date=August 2016}}
