    Did any Hambers win any lots from the RM/Sotheby's Auburn Fall auction in 2020 that featured the late, great Bill Akin's collection? Specifically, the Weslake Plymouth engine and his Model A roadster?

    I didn’t see it listed but he had a stock appearing Dodge Dart with Gurney Weslake heads and Halibrand real knock off wheels that he made the adapters for.
    His place was a treasure trove of Offy engines and parts. You could only stare, slack jawed in amazement.
    I can imagine that the Offy stuff in the sale was his.
    Then there was the 29 roadster with the Ford Indy DOHC , the Medley HRM 32 roadster, and the 40 coupe with the Weber carbed BBC. Overload!

    I remember the orange 40 and 32. I saw the 40 at some time, probably an NSRA Nationals.
