Vin now confirmed as 16021 see attached pictures, thanks to Faisal who took the time to revisit the car, it's outside the normal vin range so will see if that vin appears on any US records
Looks like it might have been painted at some time.

Interesting intake manifold. Some sort of carburetor replacement I guess.

Fantastic find Al (and Faisal). How do you do it - place an ad in gumtree.sa ? Pistonheads.sa?

Doesn't appear on any US records anywhere.
Possibly it did go straight from Belfast?
Vin would have been 11021 which isn't that far out.

Thing is there's probably quite a few parts worth money on that car - any undamaged panels, wheels - can't imagine the frame has too many rust issues - but how many running DeLoreans are there out there to give those parts any value? My wager is it'll sit there for another 20 years until the land gets bought and then it'll get chucked in a crusher.
