Is there anyone here who can post photos of their Beck or Intermeccanica Speedster interiors? I've found plenty of exterior shots on both brands but wanted to see the interior a bit more on the two different models.
Thanks in advance.

Here are some shots of my Beck taken by Carey right before delivery.

Here's an early shot of mine before the steering wheel and shifter change out. This is bare bones, no fancy-schmancy stuff.

Here's another with a few added essentials.

Here are few of mine from a couple of years ago. I no longer have the aluminum pedals as they just weren't comfortable. The small shift knob has since been replaced with the original round CSP knob painted ivory. And finally, I have engine-turned the spokes on the steering wheel.
EDIT: Found one of the engine-turned wheel, but it doesn't show how it looks in the sun very well. Will keep looking.

Marty, I can't wait to see her in person. In another post I commented about Ruby. Yours just might surpass her. I'll have to see them side by side to decide :-)
@ Nick. It should be noted that Marty's has opted for roadster seats (really nice ones) versus Speedster seats. They're comfier.
Marty has a lovely co-pilot that travels with him. I just have one of my sons, and they can sit on hard Speedster seats with me.

Two shots of mine (before the car was repainted a different colour).

Marty, I feel you have one of best looking Speedster out here, I like your color combo.
Marty, I don't see any tubes. Where you hiding them?
I'm sure that pictures don't do it justice. You should see it in person at Carlisle. Marty will be driving it there, btw ;-)

If you look real close, you'll see the hash pipe next to the driving gloves. I think that's the tube that he's referring to in the interior ;-). (I'm really looking for trouble today, I guess. Vince! Help! Post something controversial to distract everyone).

I got it Tom I should go!
By the way, the custom-made steering wheel and matching door tops in my car may be available soon. My woodworking and wheel building friend and I are considering some new stuff to replace it with.

Woops. Not sure what happened to my first two pics. I'll upload 'em again when I get home.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
The small shift knob has since been replaced with the original round CSP knob painted ivory.
It holds up just fine. It's DupliColor GM Sahara Beige. I put a coat of wax on it once a year, and clean it with Speed Shine occasionally. I've had to repaint it a time or two due to scratches from my clumsy self. The bare DupliColor seems to hold up better than if I clear coat it.
Somehow I knew waxing and polishing would be involved.

Some things a guy has just got to do, ya know?
Lane, that's a wicked cool steering wheel. Why you want to swap it out?
This is my Intermeccanica interior, I did all the carpet and upholstery myself. waiting to get the seats done in leather when the $$$ are there. The first image is shortly after getting the car back from the paint shop and I was doing the dash. The second image is behind the seats, I cut the carpet and did the piping myself using the same material as the dash for the piping. The third shot was taken at my first car show last August, with just 75Kms on the clock.

Ed - My friend that makes the steering wheels wants to make me a new one, along with some other wood stuff, in payment for some work I have done and am doing on his Healeys. I'll make someone a good deal on it and the matching door tops. The drop spoke design, while non-standard, really works well with the Speedster gauges. It is currently engine turned, but can be put back to a polished finish, I believe. Might look nice in a TD, too.
Yeah, I was thinking. Got a guy in the club jonesin' for a banjo wheel with wood rim, but something as nice as yours would maybe turn his head. Roy Hendrix, from NC. I could get you his contact or vice-versa.
Lane, I also have an interest in it for my speedster build - the machining would look great w/ my outlaw look. Let me know. dlschu42 at comcast.net
Be advised that it will be a couple of months before I can let it go. I have the build the replacement stuff.
No hurry - let me know
