I got the news tonight, and my offer for a DEVIN TR3 was accepted. I am =
to be the proud owner of a completely disassembled, former street DEVIN. =
I am promised all the parts, but there is lots of work to do. I have a =
TR3 parts car with a solid frame that I was going to sell off, but now I =
will rebuild that frame while I use the current one to hold the tub =
together for welding repairs. The body is supposed to be in good shape =
but I expect that I will be fixing lots of suspect areas anyway. It's a =
big project, but I'm game. I was planning on starting a new car to =
replace the TR3 vintage racer anyway, and I was thinking of building up =
either a TR4A or a TR250 when this car showed up in Hemmings. I bought =
the TR3 as a starter car and will sell it off for someone else to start =
out with when the DEVIN is nearing completion.=20
Does anyone have any information on DEVIN's that they would be willing =
to share such as the original instructions that came with a DEVIN TR3? I =
only have a few pictures of completed DEVIN's, so anything would =
probably help.
With this purchase, I have decided that I better go through with it and =
get serious and sell off my collection of "for restoration" cars.
I will be taking thorough pictures of each, and I guess I'll advertise =
them in Hemmings. Forgive me for bombing the lists! Here's what I have:
1-TR250 Red/Blk, almost rust free, but bondo dent repair front =
valance/fender area, needs complete restoration but was running until I =
parked it to save the engine (excessive end float). Perfect seats, no =
front bumper, hood has a few dings. 4 Spd. Wire wheels. $2500.00
2-TR250 Red/Blk, needs floors, rockers typical rust in tops of fenders =
and rear deck, frame redone by PO and that's as far as he got. I have =
some spare panels off of a TR4A that would fix the rear deck and =
fenders. Seats VG, but missing some parts. No hubcaps. This is the car =
that I thought would make a good racecar since it is incomplete. 4 Spd.=20
$1250.00
3-TR250 Blue/Blue, needs floors, rockers, not quite as rusty as #2, but =
mostly complete needing full restoration. Seat need foam and recovering, =
interior shot. Dented front fender and bumper (I may have the parts =
depending on what goes with #2) No hubcaps 4 Spd.=20
$1500.00
4-TR4A original BRG, now silver tops/red sides. Car is 95% rust free, =
very straight but was modified to fit a V8. This means that the battery =
tray was cut out and new sheet stock welded in. Motor mounts are also =
changed. I have the original engine and 4 Spd, but no seats. All gauges =
there, bit windshield gone. =20
$1000.00
5-TR6 1971, Saffron very straight and rust free, no interior (I have =
seats to go with it. Has minor dent in RF fender and a dent on front =
edge of hood (I'll throw in a spare) Perfect bumpers with badge bars. =
Original paperwork from first owner, 54000 miles 4 spd. Bought from =
estate and trying to get clear title. Hasn't run in years but an easy =
restoration.=20
$2500.00 when I get title.
6-TR6 1973 Brown, extremely straight and rust free. Hasn't run in a =
while. Has Air Conditioning but also hasn't run in a few years. Paint =
fair, all records. Bought from same estate and awaiting title.=20
$3000.00 when I get title.
Most of these prices are "what I have in them" I've collected parts to =
try and make each car as complete as I could since my plan was to =
someday restore them and sell them. Having said that, I don't have to =
sell them as I have plenty of storage, but the $ would go to the Devin. =
Thanks in advance for any info you can share and any help or leads that =
you pass on.
