Product Description

1:8 Amalgam replica Maserati 250F. A mesmerising, h&-built 1/8th scale replica by Amalgam Modelmakers the official Ferrari licensee, in a strictly limited edition of just 50 cars. Using as physical reference Chassis 2528, now in the most original condition of the three Lightweights built, along with many contemporary photographs of Chassis 2529 taken at Nürburgring, Amalgam have meticulously created full working drawings so as to come as close as humanly possible to recreating the car exactly as it raced on that magical day in August 1957. Given such privileged access, Amalgam's craftsmen were able to study & reproduce every detail, & nuance of the finished racing machine so that, for example, not only each & every rivet shown, but differences in their relative size & type are also faithfully reproduced. All in all, a truly authentic reproduction of the famous Maserati that captures the spirit & excitement of that unforgettable race when Fangio drove it to victory in the German Grand Prix. That Grand Prix, at the Nürburgring, was probably Fangio's greatest race, he lost a full 56 seconds & the lead in a pit stop, but still went on to win after a most spectacular pursuit of Mike Hawthorn, having overtaken Peter Collins, finally passing Hawthorn to take the final two laps as leader. In so doing Fangio broke the track record for the Nordeschlifer, or North Ring, by an amazing 12 seconds on three consecutive laps. He went into the Record Books that year with his fifth World Championship. Please contact us for accurate delivery date of this item.
