Caption: **VIDEO AVAILABLE. CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE.** Two miniature Ferrari body replicas have been meticulously handcrafted, which will set car enthusiasts back £41k. The two models were created by Amalgam Collection, who are famous for making the most perfect large-scale model cars in the world. The miniatures are modelled after the iconic 1957 Ferrari “Pontoon Fender” Testa Rossa and the Ferrari 250 GTO, with each replica being a quarter the size of its full-scale counterpart. Originally designed by the legendary Italian automotive designer Carrozzeria Scaglietti in 1957, both cars are celebrated for their unparalleled aesthetics in automotive design history. The Ferrari 250 TR Aluminum Body Replica, at a 1:4 scale and measuring 1.08 meters (42.5 inches) in length, is priced at £41,750.00. Crafted from aluminium sheets, each model uses traditional hand-beating techniques to shape the panels over a buck, mirroring the authentic creation process employed by Scaglietti in the 1960s. The buck was precision-machined, relying on detailed digital scans of various notable 250 GTOs that have been modelled over the years, ensuring unparalleled accuracy. Each model is crafted on a made-to-order basis. The Ferrari 250 GTO Body Replica is finished in Rosso Corsa, the distinguished racing red of Italian motorsport, capturing the essence of its racing heritage. Sandy Copeman, the mind behind Amalgam Collection, shared, “In 2009, I was fortunate enough to closely examine and delve into the design and intricate details of Ralph Lauren’s Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and the 250 GTO. Over the past 15 years, I’ve repeatedly immersed myself in the stunning beauty of Sergio Scaglietti’s masterpieces.' "It’s an honour for us to recreate these magnificent works in miniature, brought to life by artisans who share a similar passion.' "We strive to honour Scaglietti’s legacy with our quarter-sized replicas, a tribute to his masterful metal sculptures.” Available for purchase at www.amalgamcollection.com, the models carry a price of £41,750.00 each, representing a significant investment for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
