Original Devon Side Step

I’ve ‘liked’ it, so that you don’t feel neglected and end up with mental issues, like everyone seems to have, these days...

 

WOW!
I’ve just realised that I have that crockery set, in the shed! I got it from a bootsale a few years ago for £1.00!
Didn’t realise it was a ‘Devon period piece’!

 

Oh! And the front hammock!

 

Great. Thanks. I feel validated now

 

I get you want originality, but if I wanted a step I would probably bolt on a Land Rover fold down one rather than anything "period"

 

Looking at the drawing of the step in the Devon accessories photo - I do indeed have a Devon step.

I will snap off some pictures for you.

Here you go..







Rock solid but could do with a cosmetic repaint or powder coating to look it’s best.

Hi Richard,

I’m not planning on using the side step so yes it’s for sale - looks like it’ll be going to the right home

Stirlingmoz

 

Thanks for that. @stirlingmoz how is it best to contact you about the steps?

It is for this bus that I have had for over 20 years. All original but missing a side step :-

 

Hi Richard,

Lovely bus

I’ve sent you a private message via the forum.

Not sure where in the UK you are based but I’m in Woking, Surrey.

Now I have seen the picture, I can sympathise with people who stood on that in bare feet. Sharp!

 

One saucer missing!

 

I thinks there’s one on eBay at the moment..

Yes unfortunately

 

Hello,

- Going back to this old thread as I have not been around much, COVID and other problems -

Can someone let me know what they think of the step in the 4 pictures?

It was advertised on ebay as an original Devon step.

I bought it, but the seams and welding look more homemade than anything.

I rubbed off the layers of paint to see if it was rotten underneath or just the paint holding it together and then sprayed it when that was finished.

The first 3 pictures are more of a close up look and the last is a wider picture of where you would place your foot to step inside.

It looks a bit suspiciously homemade than a proper Devon one.

Can anyone that has or has seen an original Devon optional extra side step give their thoughts.

If the consensus is that it looks a Devon part then I will fit it

Thanks for helping,
Richard

 

I had one which looked similar to the one @stirlingmoz showed. Mine had the same type of mesh, expanded metal, on it. I thought it was home made, never fitted it and I think it went ages ago.

 

I would guess the expanded mesh was original.
