Skeoch
The Skeoch (/ˈskeɪ/ SKAY) was a Scottish cyclecar manufactured in 1921 by Skeoch
Utility Car Company in Dalbeattie, Kirkudbrightshire. 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. 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. Around 10 were manufactured before
the factory "The Burnside Motor Works" was destroyed by fire in December 1921.
On Saturday 17 July 2021 a recreation of the car was revealed at Colliston Park,
Dalbeattie. The fully operative replica had been constructed by members of
Dalbeattie Men's Shed charity and built from the original plans which had been
offered from Fiona Sinclair, granddaughter of James Baird Skeoch who died in
1954. As few of these cars were made this is now the only known physical example
of the Skeoch cyclecar.
