Immerse into the detail of the Mercedes-AMG ONE
Assembled from over 1192 hand-made parts
Immerse yourself into the detail in our new video, demonstrating the sheer number of parts required to build our Mercedes-AMG ONE model at 1:8 scale. Developed using original CAD designs, paint codes and material specifications provided by Mercedes-AMG, the ONE at 1:8 scale was then individually assembled by our dedicated artisans from over 1192 hand-made parts, including castings, photo-etchings and CNC machined metal components. We hope you enjoy this glance into the effort that creates this superb 1:8 scale model.
A hugely exciting development for us, the Mercedes-AMG ONE signifies a new level of partnership between Amalgam and Mercedes-Benz. The 1:8 scale model edition is limited to 199 pieces and measures over 58 centimetres (23 inches) long. The ONE is a savage blend of engineering and spirit and is the world’s first commercially available vehicle with both an F1 hybrid powertrain and road-legal approval, the ONE is a true performance hybrid that marks the pinnacle of what is currently technologically feasible. Models of the ONE at 1:8 scale are available to order for immediate dispatch.
Our close relationship with Mercedes-AMG allows us to access paint and other key options and specification data so that we can match everything to the exact specification of your car. We will in short create a model for you that is a perfect representation of the precious original in every detail. Placed in your home or office it will be a wonderful attractive display and an ever present reminder of a much loved possession. If you are interested in purchasing a bespoke model, please contact us.
A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.
It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:
Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
