LHD Replica Devon Interior
LHD Replica Devon Interior
by andyp20 » Thu Mar 12, 2015 4:39 pm
Can anyone recommend someone to recreate me a Devon interior for a LHD bus, I have all the pictures of what I would like taken from a 1960 bus, it is the one with large wardrobe and slanted front sink unit.

Not a bad start that. To convert to a '60 interior you would need to:
- Build a slanted sink unit to replace the (not pictured) cooker unit
- Stick some folding doors in place of the sliding wardrobe door
- Add an early cooker cupboard to the rear cargo door
And if you were really going for it then:
- Rebuild the rear seat back to include the sliding compartments
- Build some rear drawers to incorporate the sliding compartments mentioned above
- Swap the rear overhead lockers for the earlier side-shelves
Although most people would never notice or bother to replicate these last three I'd guess.
Decent seller too - very friendly, honest and helpful

Yes I really want him to make it too, been speaking to Kev for over a year but he has decided that he only wants to make the earlier Curved setup

I am still no closer to finding anyone that will build me this interior, I now have the sink unit for a right hand drive for someone to copy...

The eBay item was sold some to a poster on here but mostly went to a "friend"
I was the highest bidder and he politely asked if if I would be OK with that.
I agreed having nominated one piece to go to a name on here already.
Everyone happy.
I think if you want individual pieces....kev has such a long waiting list it may be better to find a RH piece and get it mirrored by someone local.

I was talking with an owner (can't remember his name) at Stanford Hall on Sunday, who had a really nice 15 window left hand drive, that had a Devon interior fitted. He had purchased a right hand drive interior and converted it himself, doing a fantastic job at it. Talking it through with him it's a fair amount of work, but if you've got the skills or can get someone to do it, it's worth the effort.
