The Skeoch (/ˈskeɪ/SKAY) was a Scottish cyclecar manufactured in 1921 by Skeoch Utility Car Company in Dalbeattie, Kirkudbrightshire.[1][2] It was powered by a 348 cc single-cylinder Precision engine and was fitted with a two-speed Burman gearbox with chain for its final-drive.[3]
At the Scottish Motor Show in 1921, the first Skeoch Utility Car was the cheapest on display and sold for £180 complete, or at a reduced cost of £165 without accessories.[1] Around 10 were manufactured before the factory "The Burnside Motor Works" was destroyed by fire[4] in December 1921.[1]
On Saturday 17 July 2021 a recreation of the car was revealed at Colliston Park, Dalbeattie.[5] The fully operative replica had been constructed by members of Dalbeattie Men's Shed charity[6] and built from the original plans which had been offered from Fiona Sinclair, granddaughter of James Baird Skeoch who died in 1954.[1] As few of these cars were made this is now the only known physical example of the Skeoch cyclecar.
