Another stirring project for 2025 is that of the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing at 1:18 scale. The same silver with a light brown leather specification as our 1:8 scale model, the first prototype is anticipated to be completed in early Q2, with the first batch of models finished before the midpoint of the year. Register your interest to be the first to hear about the availability of these models.

Introduced in 1954, the idea behind this watered-down W194 Grand Prix car can be attributed to New York Mercedes distributor Max Hoffman, Daimler-Benz's official importer in the United States. He believed that such a car would appeal to affluent American high-performance devotees. Subsequently the new 300 SL was introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show rather than the Geneva or Frankfurt motor shows where Mercedes would traditionally launch their new models. With a top speed of 135 miles per hour and 0-60mph in about 8.8 seconds, the 300 SL was the fastest production car of its time. It was also the first mass-production model to use fuel injection, which doubled the power output from 115 to 212 brake horsepower. The 300 SL was immediately successful and became known for its distinctive ‘gull wing’ doors. Around three quarters of the units made by the German great were sold into the US market, confirming the brilliance of Max Hoffman’s initial idea.

This fine 1:18 scale model of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Mercedes regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.

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.
