I hate to say it, and don't want to cause any arguments, but nobody is really being "stitched up". Cock ups from DVLA employees doesn't really replace the actual facts.
Apart from the very first prototype, there isn't a DeLorean out there which should legally be allowed to be claimed as a historical vehicle this year according to the rules of satisfaction for this status in the UK.
April '22 should be the earliest any DeLorean owners should hope to be able to initiate this claimed status, and even then only for 1981 models. '82 models waiting for April '23 and the few '83 models having to wait until April '24.
Dem be the rules. Anyone sideswiping the rules will be consequential fluke. It will be an exception, not a rule and shouldn't be counted as being typical in any regard.
