De Lorean EuroTec

And it has been here for over 20 years, impounded by the Greek government.
The Arab that had it surpassed the 6 month limit of keeping it in the country, so it was confiscated.
Now it just sits in a dark warehouse along with another 4000 vehicles that belong to the customs authority.
Problem is that although most cars get auctioned, vehicles that are over 30 years of age are not possible to auction cause the auction law covers only young timers.

So it is stuck there.... Until someone (like my self) comes up with a law to include those and hands it to the parliament for discussion.

So the mystery is half solved.
I'll take s trip again next Tuesday where they will secretly open the doors to that warehouse for me to take a few snapshots of it....

BUT!!! Due to the fact that it is government property I will not be allowed to take photos of the warehouse OR certain points of the Delorean where they have painted the warehouse code....

Till then.... patience

I present you VIN 16545 after 28 years impound. It was confiscated in 1987 from an Arab owner.
As you can tell, GRAY INTERIOR AND MANUAL.

Pardon the section shots. They had codes written on it on several positions and I was not to include any of that in my photos.
Oh, doors were locked and there was no longer a key available...


One could call this barn find images...
BUT WAIT!!!! What the hell??? No tollbooth window on the driver side???

Steel seems to be dentless

Smooth louvre with shot struts

Black rear fascia

Busted right tail light

Such a short lived engine only 4 years old at the time and already all gaskets are leaking

Same goes for the sump

Frame looks clean and the catalyst has been replaced with a plain pipe.

What do you make I that? The whole friggin interior is dusted in but the cigarette buds in the tray are like new...

Someone ripped out the radio and messed up the centre console with the a/c faceplate.
Plus the shifter was replaced. I guess the round one got too hot to grab in the summer.

Note that in that impound building were over 200 classics. That were moved out or were sent to recycling / years ago... For some reason this Delorean still stands there along with recent built super cars in there.
I assure you, they did not keep it of respect or value. It just so happened it was not moved. Clerk said he car remember they had trouble moving it...

Could it be that the DMC Middle East replaced the drop glass with a full window opening half way for better air circulation?

Mmm I reckon the glass broke and they changed the glass
Cat bypass is prob stock from the factory as there was prob no unleaded fuel available
