COMING SOON to Oldtimer Australia is this 1928 Auburn 8-115 Boat Tail Speedster.

The car offered for sale was the dream of late Auburn enthusiast Neil Burns. Burns had always wanted to own an Auburn Boat Tail Speedster. In the early 2000’s he acquired a mostly complete Auburn 8-115. He subsequently located a factory built Auburn Boat Tail Speedster in Western Australia from which he could copy the body. Measurements were taken, drawings were made and Burns started to build the car of his dreams.

By 2010 all major mechanical components had been reconditioned, including the engine, the gearbox, the carburettor and the radiator. All trim, lights and brackets had been rechromed, all the dash instruments had been fitted, and a hood assembly had been manufactured. Unfortunately Burns never got to see the finished product. He passed away in May 2010 and the car was sold from his estate to Ian Waller.

Waller completed the restoration and the car was subsequently displayed at Motorclassica in Melbourne in 2019.

Preliminary Enquiries are welcome!
