Description
Triumph Devin TR3 barchetta year1957.
Devin Enterprises was an American automotive manufacturer that operated from 1955 to 1964. Devin was mainly known for producing high quality fiberglass car bodies that were sold as kits, but they also produced automotive accessories as well as complete automobiles. The company was founded by Bill Devin and started to achieve success with the first Devin-Panhard with fibre glass body.
He then continue building fibre glass bodies used to reduce the sports car weight for successful races.
But who designed those beautiful Devin bodies? Bill Devin has stolen the Scagletti’s design. In details Bill Devin borrowed from his friend Jim Orr an Ermini tipo 357 Sport of 1955 italian made car (Scaglietti body, 1100cc engine) and using it to produce necessary mould for the Devin’s body.
We are now offering the result of the above in a model Triumph-Devin of 1957.
