Kevin - Bay Area posted:I think you’ll find a variety of responses to this inquiry as everyone’s standards are different. I have a Vintage Speedster built in 2013 by Kirk. It meets all my needs. But once you drive an Intermeccanica, you’ll understand why they are priced so much higher than a VS.
Then it comes down to your specific wants. I bought my VS knowing that it was what I call an great entry-level Speedster into the hobby. This term is not meant to be derogatory; as a VS makes a great “forever” car as well.
Special Edition / Beck is very helpful and a regular contributor to this site. Greg, with Vintage in Hawaiian Gardens, also chimes in on this site; which I found very helpful.
As far as options, engine sizes and the like, I’d consider that a personal preference that should be handled by a test drive. There’s a great map section to this group where you can identify members close to your location. While I can’t speak for all SOC members, I know a majority are very accommodating and would love to show off and explain their speedsters to those showing interest.
Thanks Kevin.
i see you too are from Bay Area. I hope to have a Coupe soon and maybe drive some of our incredible coastal ‘twisties’ with you in the near future.
