  • The Ferrari that marked the Italian legend’s return to sports car racing after 20 years, the 333 SP was an instant success. Built by Italian motor racing manufacturer, Dallara (and later Michelotto) to compete in the World Sports Car Championship during the 1994 season, the 333 SP was to join IMSA’s new WSC class. Dallara worked its magic by supplying the transmission and the suspension along with the aerodynamic development and bodywork. The engine and chassis were, however, developed solely by Ferrari in-house. The power unit was a modified version of the V12 engine used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car, which was duly enlarged to 4 litres, capable of producing 641 brake horsepower.

    The 333 SP showed its potential in the second half of the 1994 season, debuting at Road Atlanta and taking the first and second place, along with further wins at Lime Rock and others. The 1995 season started badly at the 24 Hours of Daytona, but this was quickly followed by a win at the formidable 12 Hours of Sebring and another four wins throughout the course of the year. Ferrari went on to take the Manufacturer’s Championship and driver Fermin Velez scooped up the Driver’s prize.

    The 333 SP continued to challenge for the top spot in race series around the world until the late 1990s. It was undoubtedly the inspirational car of this era of sports car racing.

    This model of the Ferrari 333 SP is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the Moretti Racing Inc. LMP class racing car as driven in the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans by Gianpiero Moretti, Mauro Baldi and Didier Theys. This exact car, with the number 019 chassis, won the 24 Hours of Daytona with Mauro Baldi and Arie Luyendyk, and the 12 Hours of Sebring with Mauro Baldi and Didier Theys back to back before finishing 14th (third in the class) at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the driver line-up that had won at Sebring.

    This model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari 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.

    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.
