De Lorean EuroTec

Apparently someone got upset that LingCars (I assume that you know who this is, as I have never heard of her) wouldn't supply them with a new 1982 DeLorean, as advertized on her website (beware if you have epilespy):

http://www.lingscars.com/DeLorean/DMC-1 ... tml#models

and complained to the Advertizing Standards Authority

Yes, it's a famous car leasing / hire purchase site, well known for its publicity stunts. Ling appeared on Dragons Den - she has a rocket launcher/tank thing, London bus etc.

‘Of course, I realise there are some very stupid people out there but I didn't think any would really believe you could get a DeLorean in 2013. It was made by an American cocaine baron in Northern Ireland from aluminium foil, after all, and was discontinued pretty quickly.’

WTF

Darren, in around of way it is sort of to the point

er, theres always one of Steve Wynne's "New" Deloreans with zero miles in 2013.

I reckon if we all place an order with Ling Cars it's not a bad deal for one of DMCH's $70K cars.

Or Stargliders/Grady's 2013 W-H cars. Maybe she is in partnership with Chris N. ?

Please note!
This is clearly a joke listing. This car ceased to be made in 1982. For the ASA benefit - this is a j-o-k-e.

I have been telling Chris he needs to publicise him business more, but I think this woman shows it is possible to go far the other way...

So none of you guys have ever had some punter come up to you and say 'They're making new ones of those you know'

The whole remanufactured cars from DMCH thing has the general public very confused, as such whilst I agree this advert is a prank to Joe public who's heard on the BBC about the new/electric cars this may appear genuine.

So give the guy a little credit and the mad oriental woman a slap

Thanks Manx,

That's kinda what I was trying to say.
