Our Finest Collaborations
It was an extraordinary year for us, as we continue to create and extend partnerships with some of the most important events and the strongest automotive and luxury brands in the world. Our partnerships continued to position our models at the forefront of the automotive and luxury sectors, with some further exciting new developments and opportunities for 2025 in the pipeline with the likes of Alan Thornton, Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover and Ferrari, to name a few. Here are some of our outstanding moments of the year.
2024 at Amalgam Reviewed
In June, a large private assembly of 27 Amalgam models was auctioned for almost half a million dollars, as part of RM Sotheby’s Dare to Dream Collection. The astonishing assortment featured bespoke replicas of the Dare to Dream Garage’s McLaren P1 and Bugatti Veyron, a 2011 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-26 Formula 1 car and a full, extensive collection of Ralph Lauren models by Amalgam. There was particular interest in the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic at 1:8 scale, which fetched a remarkable $43,000, setting a new company record for a Limited Edition model.
In January, we welcomed DriveTribe's Mike Fernie and the Centric Creative video production team for their second visit to the Amalgam Collection workshop in Bristol, to get up close and personal to our latest offering of replica models. Mike and his crew truly captured the beauty, detail and craftmanship that goes into creating these masterpieces and took a detailed dive into our weathering process of the Ford GT40 at 1:8 scale with our Senior Model Maker, Toby Moir. The 21-minute video garnered nearly half a million views on YouTube.
We were proud to be present at the Homo Faber Exhibition in Venice in September for their celebration of contemporary craftsmanship. Under the visionary art direction of Luca Guadagnino and Nicolò Rosmarini, and curated by the esteemed Michelangelo Foundation, we exhibited two of our most iconic models: the breathtaking Ferrari 250 GTO and the legendary Maserati 250F.
Our collaboration with artist and photographer Alan Thornton continues to grow, this year producing a new Fine Art Edition for the Ford GT40. Created in partnership with Ford and Gulf International, each Fine Art Print depicts a precise and vibrant side profile of the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning car driven by Jackie Ickx and Jackie Oliver in 1969. A new collaboration with a major British manufacturer is soon set to be revealed, so listen out for more news in 2025.
A new partnership in 2024, our collaboration with luxury art book publisher TASCHEN to introduce three new automotive titles to our carefully curated collection of books: TASCHEN’S ‘Ultimate Collector Cars’ and ‘Ultimate Collector Motorcycles’.
Meanwhile. our collaboration with Porter Press International continued to grow, with the new title 'Brawn GBP 001/02', focusing on the one-season wonder that was the Brawn GP Formula 1 team.
A special partnership between Amalgam, the Robb Report and Ferrari saw us offer a one-off version of the 2023 Le Mans winning Ferrari 499P at a special 1:4 scale, complete with internal and external lighting and a black-walnut display case with a remote control–activated artificial sky. The lucky buyer or recipient will also be Ferrari’s VIP guest at the next edition of Le Mans.
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.
