I have owned 3 vintage motorcar spyders. 1999, 2003 and 2018. I can tell you the quality improved with each car I have owned. My 2018 car with its ~200hp Suby, front Bilstein shocks, anti sway bar, heated seats, hard half tonneau etc. is about as close to Spyder perfection as you can get. I owned a 2009 intermeccanica and I can tell you that the new Beck cars have equal performance and build quality as an IM. I thought about building a new Conv D IM but after seeing the attention to detail with Lanes car I was so impressed I ordered a Beck Conv D a few weeks later. And the IM would cost over 50% more than a comparable Beck. It’s really a no brainer.
I really hope Henry continues building 356 replicas. My IM was beautiful and well built. But honestly as long as Greg and Carey keep building cars I think we will be ok.
