Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1.8/10hp, wide-5 wheels, finned brake drums, Dunlop SP Sport tires, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel, full width Plexiglas wind screen, rollbar, dual choke downdraft Weber carburetors, Essolube can repurposed as the crankcase breather catch tank.

Condition

Block stamped 616/16. Dull old paint, cracked leather seat liners (cushion doesn't apply) with pulled seams. Good newer steering wheel and crisp Porsche gauges. Oil misted and dirty engine compartment. Most of the body panels are sound with only some cracks at the engine cover strap attachments. An enchanting old thing but without any period history (or any history, for that matter and built from irrelevant parts.)

Market commentary

Bill Devin did magical things with mundane bits, from svelte fiberglass bodies that fit on Triumph chassis to the lightweight Devin D that accommodated various powertrains from Panhard to Porsche. This is a cool thing but its lack of history is a challenge and the result here is all the consignor could have hoped for.
