the list is intended to be a guide off all Deloreans that the public can go and see. I first called it Museum Deloreans, but then I realized that Universal Studios is hardly a museum :D

So if you have any more info on the SA one, I'll add it in (just in case anyone is passing ;) )


Peter,
mine is 2743 (Aug81) and it's a g/f car. Perhaps their original hood on 2873 got damaged and they swapped out yours and bought a second hand flat one ???


if you are talking about the south australia one my brother lives in adelaide and i told him to go and have a look at it if you need any info on it just let me know .he said he was going upto birdwood in 3 or 4 weeks time.

sorry, I am a lazy typer. I was talking about the one in South Africa that Al mentioned.

I actually got some good info from the curator of the National Museum/Birdwood in Adelaide on the car there, it looks like a great car (only 839 miles on it supposedly - he should go see it) but send your brother the pdf and if he happens to be in Sydney, I need info on the Harris Street one. It's such a small country, I'm sure he can just pop up the road :D

Is it me or is that one in Australia riding higher than any other D I've seen? Even at the back there's about 6 inches between the tyre and the wheel arch!

the curator told me that the owner required the car to be raised on stands, I guess to prevent flat spots. You can clearly see them in the video -they're bright blue :D

the car had a red custom interior, it looked alot better than the pics make out, but oem is better imo.

I like the headliners finishing with the rest of it, but red looks awful. Would be a lot better in black :)

Hi Sam(?) I've made your pics clickable, so they can be seen in their full glory by clicking on them.

And it's VIN#1990: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=311

I love the tailpipes! :sick:
