Our Finest Events

Our partnerships continue to mature with some exciting new developments and opportunities for 2024 in the pipeline with the likes of Alan Thornton, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, INDYCAR and Ferrari, to name a few. Here are a couple of outstanding events we participated in.

2023 AT AMALGAM REVIEWED

Ferrari 812 Competizione Unique Bespoke Model

The standout moment of the year was the sale for a staggering $90,000 of a unique model of the 'Tailor-Made' Ferrari 812 Competizione that we created and donated for auction at the Ferrari Foundation Charity Gala in New York City in October. The model attracted the admiring glances of F1 drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, as well as Chief Designer Flavio Manzoni, before fetching $90,000 in the auction. All proceeds will be used to fund the education support projects that are the focus of the New York based Ferrari Foundation’s charitable activities.

A specially commissioned NTT INDYCAR SERIES 1:8 scale model

Earlier in the year a specially commissioned NTT INDYCAR SERIES 1:8 scale model decorated in the livery of the 2023 Detroit Grand Prix, sold for $50,000Setting at the time a new record for an Amalgam model sold at auction, it raised substantial funds for local charities: Belle Isle Conservancy, Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan, Detroit Public Safety Foundation, Detroit 300 Conservancy and Pope Francis Center.

Mitch Payne Creative Shoot

Our collaboration with photographer Mitch Payne bore rich fruit this year, resulting in a series of exotic composite images of our models. Captured in Mitch's East London Studio, his shoot showcases his dramatic signature style, often with an abstract injection of shape and colour. The phenomenal quality of our models shines through, challenging the viewer to differentiate model from reality.

HOW IT WORKS

SplitIt®

No credit checks required but the total amount is held in reserve on your card to ensure payment
Your first payment is taken immediately. The rest will be paid automatically in monthly installments

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.
