Ep 310 The devon w/ Read Kerlin

One thing I love about the VW world is there's never a dull moment and there's always something new. For example, the Devon this is the first time I've ever seen this car was at a type three rally meet up in front of ISP West that's when I got to meet Read. Read is the owner of this Devon 295. It's called the Devon 295 because it cost $295 back in the day it was a kit car that was made from multiple different chassis for the ultimate enthusiast that wanted to build their own sports car on this podcast we get into some of the history of the Devon as well as Read's personal history in the VW scene. He's a great guy and this car is even cooler. Like most of us with his life, starting in a Volkswagen that his parents owned and loving the car itself with the pursuit to find something unique. He stumbled across this Devon. It's a very cool car one of the few that has a type three motor in it has a matter fact it's the only one that he knows of the registry is keeping track of some of these, but Bill Devon, who started the company in 1954 wasn't very good at keep records. You could even buy stuff from him up until not long before his passing a true innovator always looking to help the sports car enthusiast DIYer.
