Hi Patrick,
There are others on this list that are probably more qualified to discuss
this with you, but as a Devin owner, I have tried to learn as much as I can
about the marque during the last year or so.
The car you refer to is the Devin SS, of which some say 13 chassis were
completed and some say 15. Only about 30 remain (everyone with a V-8 Devin
claims its an SS). Devin bought the chassis from an Ireland firm and
installed the engine and body in South El Monte, California.
For more information, go to Bill Devin's web site at:

By the way, what book would you have referred to?
