I didn't know people were still looking at this post, but that's cool.
It turns out that this is a 1927 8-88 Tourer in the 147inch long wheelbase. I may have actually posted this in a later post. I have put the Car (or whats left of it) in a shed on our farm until I decide to restore it, which of course will be no simple task, but since it is pretty rare I reckon it would be worth it; Auburns of any kind are not common in Australia.

Ray Parker please verify:
In 1926, Auburn had a 8-88 with the Big 8 motor. Designation 4HM.
In 1925, the big 8 motor designation was 2HM.
Ray Parker owns one of each. He would be the one to verify the motor designation.

for me, looking at the wooden spoke wheels, the fire wall, the window frame and the radiator hood it is a 8-88 1927.
The ACD-Museum has one and I have a lot of pictures they made for me.
If you send me your e-mail I will send you pictures.

I have several Auburns in what several people would term various rates of decay - I have started on my 4-44..but to the 8-88. I have 2 chassis, a heap of spares and a few "straight 8's" to go with them. I live in Brisbane and my no. is 07 3289 4649 if you need help with anything - limited though it would be. If you need some excellent technical knowledge I would suggest you ring Max Harris on 08 8254 9648 or Ross McRae on 02 4782 1846. By the way, my 4-44 was originally bought from up your way. Regards
Bruce Beattie.

Was there a 4HM motor designation in 1925? I believe the 4HM designates the Big 8 Lycoming with the 1 1/4 Schebler carburetor.
Too bad it doesn't have artillery wheels..lol

Also what Carburettor would it have been fitted with, I may be able to get one from another fellow, but neither of us is 100% sure that it is what it needs.
Thank you all and Happy Christmas
