Hi Pancho, Yes I can see by the windscreen frame that it is a 1928/1930 Auburn with a 1935 grill. I am pretty sure that I know the fate of this car. In the mid 1980's when I was restoring my car, I got a lead of a speedster in Glenbrook NSW. At the time, I was in the RAAF serving at Richmond NSW and Glenbrook is at the base of the Blue Mountains. I rang the owner and made my introduction but alas he had just sold the Speedster as it was surplus to his requirements. That owner was Garth Murphy (deceased circa 2000) I did see the car. Garth gave me the details of the new owner and i followed up. The new owner was a guy called Gabriel Durban. A very unusual character who was widely known in the old car scene. He was an American permanently living in Sydney and quite a character. He got around to all the swap meets bare footed regardless of the weather. I visited with him to his workshop in Frenches Forrest (Sydney) and again the car was there. Gabriel never threw anything away and I recall being amazed at the number of highly flameable painting materials he had located in his sheds. Gabriel made his living repairing crashed cars (with lots of bondo) and flogging the repaired vehicles. However, he was good enough to lend me many parts that I required for duplication. Unfortunately, a few years later I came upon him at another swap meet and he told me that he had lost all of his sheds in a wild fire that swept through his property. He told me that even the chassis was unusable due to distortion from the extreme heat generated by the fires in his adjoining paint shed. Apparently everything was cleaned up post fire by an excavator into a truck for disposal, and so your dads 1929 8-90 Auburn Speedster met it's fate in the manner I have explained. I have enclosed a photo of this car at Mr Durban's workshop before the fire. You can see the incorrect 1935 side panel of the bonnet. Somewhere i do have a photo taken at Mr Murphy's where you can see the 1935 radiator shell. I also noted the whole body had been stretched in width to fit over the chassis side rails. /whereas the pre 30's cars the body sat wholly on top of the chassis. I hope the above information gives you comfort in knowing what happened to your dad's car. Kind Regards, Ian Bawden
