Not like I will be hammering round Silverstone in it to be honest! Auto suits the convoy driving!

I sometimes miss the auto for times like that, but when you fancy a run up the north coast and get to the twisty roads the auto is crap.

Have you looked up anybody here who can inspect/refurb the auto?

Alright lads and lady's.

Fate has dealt me a rough hand recently and I can either struggle on or sell by beloved Delorean for a fresh start.

This blog is a good representation of its history. If anyone is interested in finishing the job I started PM me for further details.

As a summary;
- auto, black interior, gas flap hood
-Chassis galvanised and powdercoated
-carbureted engine with 3 Dell'Orto twin 40's. Custom manifold by Lee Noble Racing and estimated 200BHP.
-Spax and poly bushed all round
- Replacement, used, original seat covers included but not fitted yet
- steering and axle components all new at time of frame off. Bearings, track rod ends, bushes etc

Requires
- engine set up
- choke fitted
- gearbox issues with poor traction
- minor cosmetic details
-Battery
-starter motor
- fuel system routing improved

I won't be disappearing. Only advertising on here so hopefully if it goes anywhere it will be in the community.

Will know next week if selling is necessary.

Thanks
