Bentley Blower

Bentley Blower

Driven by Sir Henry Birkin and Jean Chassagne in 1930, the #9 was involved in an epic duel with fellow Bentley Blower racers Dr Dudley Benjafield and Giulio Ramponi and the Rudolf Caracciola and Christian Werner piloted Mercedes-Benz SSK. Despite five separate tyre failures, the duo hassled the SSK to retirement, before eventually retiring the car themselves with a broken conrod. Birkin, in particular, is considered to have embodied the true spirit of the Vintage Racing era and widely considered the very reason Bentley ultimately emerged victorious with the Speed Six of Woolf Barnato and Glen Kidston. Models of this exquisite car at 1:8 scale are currently available to order.

Ferrari 375 Plus

Ferrari 375 Plus

In 1954, the Ferrari 375 Plus was raced to victory in its debut race at Le Mans, expertly driven by José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant in a rain-affected thriller viewed by many as a battle between brute force and science. An exhausted González reached the chequered flag to win by just under three minutes ahead of Jaguar D-type of Tony Rolt & Duncan Hamilton, the closest finish for the race since 1933. Models of the car at 1:8 scale are available to order on our website.

Bugatti EB110

Bugatti EB110

In 1994, the Bugatti EB110 LM made its debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the French brand's return to the iconic racing event after a 55-year hiatus, with an all-French driver line up in Alain Cudini, Le Mans winner Éric Hélary and Jean-Christophe Bouillon. Although the team faced technical issues and retired from the race, when a tyre blowout threw the Bouillon into the barriers on the Mulsanne Straight, Bugatti's bold comeback attempt sent a message that the marque was back, and ready to take on the best.

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.
