my 72 devon ragtop
vinnies72 - February 24th, 2012 at 01:31 PM

Has been 2 years in the making (almost sold her a few times out if frustration) and have just had it painted, just need to put her back together ( with a 2m sliding ragtop!)

Thought it might be a good idea to show you what we started with !!!!! Rotten!
look at those wonderful colours

Is the Devon made from a Kombi (like the Australian ones) or is it from a camper body?

vinnies72 - February 24th, 2012 at 02:19 PM

Devons where made from deluxe microbuses, unlike the australian conversions which used just kombis. Mine is a German built English converted van.

Nice to see another Devon in Australia, I have a 65 one myself. Love the 1980's brick mobile phone hanging near the window! I used to sell them in the late 80's

Cheers

Nice work mate! I know this would have taken a lot of effort to get it looking like this.

Looks like Harry has had enough again and she is up for sale.

Check the fore sale section for more info.

Dont sell Harry - you'll regret it in a few months.

Cheers

If you end up parting it out mate, I take a few cuts:smilegrin:

P.S. Sell a kidney, not Martha....

vinnies72 - March 14th, 2012 at 10:15 PM

yeah guys she is up for sale, but looks like I may have something in the way of trades...
can't afford to put her back together, and really haven't got the time with a new career on the cards interstate (no room either)
really need something running and rego'd. It was a fun resto tho, had its moments, and I'll be sad to see her go but gotta move on.
cheers
