Another exciting new development is Mercedes 300 SLR chassis 0004/55, christened ‘722’ after its most famous race number, as driven to victory by Stirling Moss with navigator Denis Jenkinson at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Moss broke almost every available record en route to a famous victory, finishing 22 minutes ahead his closest competitor Jaun Manuel Fangio and becoming the first and only Briton to win the fabled Italian race. We currently expect the prototype to be finished in Q2, with the first edition models available for dispatch before the midpoint of the year.

At Amalgam Collection we create models at a range of scales. For those of you unfamiliar with the way the system works, these scales represent the ratio between the size of a model and its full size counterpart. Here are the scales we make with the average lengths of the model alongside. Put simply, the bigger the number to the right of the colon, the smaller the model car:
Sculpts…...11 cms (4 inches) long
1:18…...25 cms (10 inches) long
1:12…...38 cms (15 inches) long
1:8….....60 cms (24 inches) long
1:5….....92 cms (36 inches) long
1:4. ….120 cms (48 inches) long
Our primary focus is on collections at 1:18 and 1:8 scales. It’s at those scales we create the majority of our model range, with just a few examples at the other scales. Bespoke models are only available at the bigger 1:8 scale and we tend to build one-offs at the even bigger 1:5 or 1:4.
