Jeff, what a gorgeous car! Makes me sick to think about the Devin body I
happened on many years ago and ultimately traded for an electric chain
hoist (which I needed a lot more at the time).
It was interesting, though. Apparently the body I had was once installed
on some sort of RHD chassis (MG-TC perhaps; but something with a wheelbase
about 3-4" longer than a TR.) Of course, this would have left the headrest
fairing on the "passenger" side, so whoever built the car duplicated the
fairing for a "matched pair"! It was such a good job that one could only
tell it wasn't "original" by looking underneath the body; the new fairing
sat on the rear deck. The original fairing, of course, was molded into the
deck and was "hollow" underneath.
Wonder where it ended up?
