Hello from Scotland

Greetings fellow Beck owner from Detroit.

When our cars were built, the bodies were made by Chamonix in Brazil and final assembly was done in Bremen, IN (now everything is done in Bremen, IN)

It could have been as a body kit, roller, or turn key.

Carey Hines (@chines1) can give you the details www.beckspeedster.com

Welcome to this madness Ross ! Hope you enjoy your ride as much as we do !

My Wife and I have read the books and watched the series "Outlanders" We are thinking of a trip to Scotland in the next two months. Of course we want to go to Edinburgh, Inverness, and Craig Na Dun. Probably the battle ground of1745 that the name escapes me right now but looks like Coloden. What would the weather be like ?.....Bruce

I too have a Beck and love it. Cary will be able to trace your car's history. Have a great time driving it.

Hi Bruce,

Weather here comes in 2 week phases, 2 weeks dry and mild, 2 weeks windy and wet.  Its because were are heated by narrow band of hot air from europe that keeps us warmer than most other countries this far north, but often that jet stream wanders off course and misses us and we get a couple of weeks bad weather.  SO you never really know, best to have a variety of thin layers, dont bother with any big heavy coats.  T-shirt, thin pullover, thicker pullover, thin wateproof jacket that you can roll up and put in your bag.

There actually is a really good facebook group called the Scottish Travel Society, where lots of info is available.  There are even several 'Outlander' tours.

If you need any other advice let me know.

Cheers,

R

 

Hello Scotland, congrats on the new toy. It looks great. I have a
Boxster (03) with that same color. I love it with the tan upholstery.
The Beck is really a good brand. Many happy moments to you.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions, although I am just a
Speedster fan, not an authority.

We have been to Scotland twice.  Our middle son did a semester at Strathclyde U. in Glasgow back in the 1990s, and we visited and toured around.  A couple of years ago we did a train tour in October.  We figured the tourists would be fewer then, and the weather - although it was wet and windy up on the Orkneys - was pretty good.  We don't mind coolish weather, and the scenery and people (except for one miserable old coot we met) were great.

Looking forward to getting back there soon.

Congratulations on your speedster.
