The Skeoch chassis in it's very early stage.

On receipt of the side frames from Paterson Engineering the basic frame was assembled , allowing measurements to be confirmed for the design of the Gearbox rear support, chassis drop arms, running board & rear spring supports – drawings of these parts were sent Patersons for laser cutting from 6mm mild steel plate.


After a visit to the Shed, Bill Simpson offers to oversee the strip down, overhaul and rebuild of the Beardmore Precision engine – by Shed members, in his workshop.


James Kinnaird donated the proceeds of his garden open day to the Skeoch project.
