Devin Cars, a company founded by American Bill Devin, produced various racing cars and kit cars in the 1950s and 1960s.
Innovations
The 1956 SCCA H-Modified National Champion was a Devin[1] powered by a 2-cylinder Panhard engine modified with Manx Norton motorcycle cylinder heads. This may have been the first-ever automotive use of belt-driven (double, in this case) overhead camshafts.[2]
