What photo you have in your wallet?

• 

Back in the fifties and sixties several manufacturers offered a sleek fibreglass body shell that you could put on almost any discarded chassis. Most companies soon went out-of-business, but the firm of Bill Devin was quite successful and sold quite a lot. This is a one-off, the mold taken in 1952 from a Ferrari 750 Monza by Bill Devin while the Ferrari-owner was away on holiday. It was mounted on a hand-built chassis that first sported a Crossley engine, later substituted for an Alfa Romeo unit. It is rumoured that Bill Devin kept a photo of this racing car in his wallet as a 'good luck charm' until the day he died. That makes us curious… what photo do you carry in your wallet? ? Tell us and Send it.
