Amalgam’s Race-Weathered Ferrari 330 P4 Revealed

"Attention to Every Detail"

Bristol, UK, December 13, 2020 – The master craftsman at the Amalgam Collection today revealed its latest race weathered 1:18 scale car, the iconic 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 Le Mans race car. Each of the 100 limited edition 1:18-scale models are meticulously hand-painted and detailed by the artisans at Amalgam’s Bristol workshop to show every nuance of embedded dirt in the cars livery after completing 24 grueling hours on the Circuit de la Sarthe. The first batch of 25 models is expected to be completed and shipped before Christmas with a limited production run of only 100 pieces.

“Our goal is to produce a model that looks exactly like the real car, in this case down to the last rock chip,” says Sandy Copeman, Amalgam’s director of brand. “There should be nothing that gives it away.”

Every nut, bolt and rivet were precisely replicated using data from a digital scan of the only perfect example of the 330 P4 left in existence, which did not suffer from crash damage or major modifications. Additionally, Ferrari Classiche scrutinized the model during the prototype phase of its development to ensure complete accuracy. All of the weathering details were accurately applied using archival imagery to ensure that the completed model precisely replicated oil stains, stone chip and dirt smears on the real car as it finished the race in 1967. Owners will also be presented with an archival quality Giclée print of the car crossing the finish line, as selected from the Motorsport Images collection by Amalgam.

Amalgam is also known for the presentation of every model that leaves its workshops. The 330 P4 is no different. Each model will arrive in a luxurious black protective black box with a protective outer carrying sleeve. Amalgam’s works of automotive art are mounted on polished black acrylic bases with a protective clear acrylic dust cover, ideal for display purposes. Each car comes with a booklet containing a certificate of authenticity along with historical information on the car. Completing the Amalgam display is a polished stainless-steel plaque with the model title and original Ferrari branding mounted at the front end of the base.


“Most collectors quickly come to realize that dusting one of our models is almost an impossible task,” adds Copeman. “So, it goes without saying that keeping them in the display case will protect and present them in a bespoke way.” Copeman adds, “some clients have been known to scoot one across the floor. However, that would not come without taking an enormous risk.”
