Amalgam celebrates the 1961 Goodwood Tourist Trophy

61 Years Ago Today

On the 19th of August 1961, Goodwood Motor Circuit hosted the annual Goodwood Tourist Trophy, hosting an array of British motor racing talent including Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori, Innes Ireland and Mike Parkes. 

Ferrari 250 GT SWB

Parkes started ahead of Moss, the duo racing in a pair of private Ferrari 250 GT SWB cars. Behind them were three Aston Martin DB4 GTs piloted by Salvadori and Clark in Zagato-bodied variants and Ireland who was behind the wheel of a normal-bodied version. Parkes started well, retaining the lead into the first corner, followed closely by Moss and the Astons. A slightly slower start for Salvadori dropped him to fourth behind Clark by the end of the first lap, though Salvadori regained this place soon after as the trunk of Clark’s Aston had opened itself and he had to pull into the pits to fix the issue.

On lap eight, Moss overtook Parkes for the lead and set off, slowly establishing an increasing lead. One by one the contenders made their pit stops, the race order alternating according to who was in the pits and how long they stayed, but it was clear Moss's less flamboyant style was allowing him to go several more laps than Parkes on each set of tyres, hoping for one less change before the chequered flag.

Around halfway through the race, Parkes was black-flagged when part of his undertray began to drag on the road after an off-course excursion behind the bushes at Woodcote, allowing Salvadori and Ireland up into second and third places and allowing Moss a clear run to the end. This was not to last for the Astons though, as Parkes made a tactical surprise on his fourth and final pit stop, managing to undercut both Salvadori and Ireland to regain second place. Moss passed the chequered flag to claim his seventh TT victory, Parkes taking second position and Salvadori eventually claimed the final podium place. It seemed that the British Automobile Racing Club were so sure that Stirling "Mr Goodwood" Moss would win that they then presented him with a cake complete with seven candles to celebrate his seventh win.

As raced to victory by Stirling Moss

Described by Moss as “the best GT car in the world”, the SWB Berlinetta won Ferrari the GT class of the 1961 Constructor's Championship. It was also victorious at the 1960, 1961 and 1962 Tour de France Automobile before being replaced by the equally legendary 250 GTO. 1:8 scale models of the 250 GT SWB are currently available to order.

'1 VEV' as raced to third by Roy Salvadori

To faithfully recreate 1 VEV, we were honoured to be given access to the original car to capture every detail with a very precise digital scan, and make a photoshoot of around 1000 high resolution images. Primary references have been taken from photographs shot at the 1961 Goodwood TT, with secondary references from other races of the period, and from the car today which was carefully restored to its original specification in 2007. Models at 1:8 scale are currently available to order.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • 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.
