Name that car (on Instagram)

Name that car

Somehow I found myself on Instagram and found a few photos of UK DeLoreans. Anyone know who they are?

1. Trade plates in Britain somewhere

2. JRV 497X on Isle of Wight
Image

3. B261 AKN in London
Image

Image

4. Cornwall
Image

And some familiar ones

Dermot
vin 2743
Ex-Dunmurry-ite,
but now nr. Atlanta GA
US o'A

Vin 2743 – Black, Auto, non-lowered, non-Spaxed, non-carbed, non-turbo’d, non-de-catted, just as Neal drove it on the boat in August ‘81

Nice finds Dermot. B261AKN appears on this list: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3159 - and is still in existence according to the DVLA. It says "year 2003" in my search, and of course it's quite unusual to see a "B" plate.... so I doubt it ever went to the USA.

JRV497X is one of the (I think) two cars on my old home, the Isle of Wight - Vin 5380: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=771

My general assumption of Instagram pictures is that they are recent pics most likely uploaded within a few days of being taken, to allow for filtering etc.(but I am not an instagrammer so I'm not sure). These all have date stamps in July 2013.

There seems to be a large number of people with faulty watches on there, also.

The Isle of Mann one is Manxmann: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=297

MDT 163W is Vin 1889 - memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1512 - in Sheffield. No idea who they are though, although we have sent parts :)
