Product Information
pThe 1957 Maserati 250F Lightweight T2 at 18 Scale. Chassis number 2529. As raced in the German Grand Prix at Nurburgring by Juan Manuel Fangio. A mesmerising, hand built 18 Scale model in a strictly limited edition of just 50 cars.ppUsing 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 Nurburgring, 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.ppGiven such privileged access, Amalgams craftsmen were able to study and reproduce every detail, and nuance of the finished racing machine so that, for example, not only is each and every rivet shown, but differences in their relative size and type are also faithfully reproduced. All in all, a truly authentic reproduction of the famous Maserati that captures the spirit and excitement of that unforgettable race when Fangio drove it to victory in the German Grand Prix.ppThat Grand Prix, at the Nurburgring, was probably Fangios greatest race, he lost a full 56 seconds and 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.ppIn doing so 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. Each model in this Limited Edition of just 50 is made from the highest quality prototyping resin and white-metal castings with many components individually machined.ppAmalgams craftsmen spent more than twenty man weeks to make the drawings, produce the master model components and then cast the pieces. Each model then takes some fifty hours to construct. The spoked wheels are works of art in their own right. Normally, even on larger scale models, spoked wheels show minimal detailing, but on this model even the domes where the spokes join the wheel rims are shown in scale, and each wheel is properly laced with the full 72 spokes to replicate exactly the original wheels in all their complex and beautiful detail. Enormous attention has been given to the surface textures of the materials used and the unique handmade quality of the original car so that they, too, are sensitively rendered in the scale reproduction.ppWidely regarded as one of the greatest Grand Prix cars of all time, this model will appeal to all discerning collectors of motor racing history who seek to possess unique, hand built models of the highest possible quality. If youre the kind of person who can only accept the finest expression in a chosen field, then nothing but an Amalgam piece will satisfy your desire.p Grand Prix Legends Information The world's largest Online Mail Order site for F1 & Motorsport Diecast, Teamwear & Merchandise.

Product Information
These superb digital watches feature real LED digital modules - exactly the same type of LED display used in the original old school 70s watches! Press one of the buttons and the numbers illuminate brightly, showing the instantly recognisable retro 70's time or date display in blue. Check peoples reactions when they see your authentic 70s style LED watch! They are super cool real 70's icon that will be a collectors piece again and again. The first LED digital watches were introduced in 1971 under the Pulsar brand, and by 1973 they had taken the world by storm. After appearing in the James Bond Movie 'Live and Let Die' many more manufacturers produced LED watches until they became as recognisable as the lava lamp. Millions of LED watches were sold - but then with the introduction of Seiko's LCD watch in 1979, LED almost became extinct overnight, rarely to ever return since the 70's. Now that the high volume manufacturing process for LED watches no longer exists they have become more and more difficult and expensive to produce. The production of these authentic reproduction LED watches involves careful and dedicated work. The result is a great combination of absolutely authentic 70s LED watch look and feel with the reliability and long life of highly accurate modern electronics. This newly manufactured LED watch module offers greatly improved battery life compared to vintage models, in normal use batteries last approx 12 months and are easy to replace. The solid and chunky square faced models with scratch resistant face are suitable for most sized adult male or female wrists, the adjustable metal bracelet is shiny sliver coloured chrome plated and stainless steel, the body is crafted from premium grade solid chrome plated metal. The TX4 LED Watch represents the cutting edge of authentic retro timepieces designed to offer many years of reliable service.
