Designed by local Industrial Designer David J Clash based here in Melbourne Victoria, the initial sketches of the car were drawn in 1988. Several years went into the design and sculpting of the bodywork, and a Jaguar powered 3.4L Special was built with help from his father.
In the early 2000s the car was re-engineered with new chassis frame, running gear and minor changes to the bodywork. The first production prototype used a Ford straight-six 4L engine, whereas subsequent cars have the GM LS1 5.7 V8 both in automatic and manual variants.
Indeed, the Devaux (named after his mother’s French connection) captures the essence of some of the world’s finest 1930s cars. Those who know their automotive history readily identify these elements, a beautiful era when cars were designed by artists and built by craftsmen.
