This one is almost brand new.

Don't know why there are so many Vintage Speedsters on BAT, but they must have made a lot of them.

I don't think I will find the Beck Subaru powered 5sp I am looking for used.  Still researching however and hope to make it to Carlisle to look around more.

GG - the blue one linked to is a Vintage Motorcars (not a Vintage Speedster).  VM is in the shop where VS used to be built - Hawaiian Gardens.  VS was sold and moved to AZ.  VM has a great reputation. The new VS has changed hands a couple times. The # of VS quoted as built over the years - is from the only VS - not sure # of new VS cars built.

Thanks. I knew there are two, but glazed over that. Thanks.

Fixed it for you.

If I was buying a Speedster today(or any VW-Porsche replica for that matter) I would buy ONLY from Vintage Motorcars or Beck, in no particular order.

@chines1  I know you used to make only original style rear suspension cars, but now that you have swung over to IRS are all your cars IRS?  What year did you fully convert and going forward were they all IRS?  Just wondering.

I can still do both, but IRS is our standard now and swing is only by request.  New chassis was launched in late 2019 but at that time we had both, so a 2019 (and even an early 2020) could be either.
