some more infos on the car


I acquired it in france december 2009 and the car was registered in belgium in june 2010. The car first owner was in chicago illinois.
I am the third owner of this car. When I acquired vin 4957, it was suffering a lack of road. The car stayed nearly 20 years without riding a lot.
I made an extensive refurbishement on it (not really a restauration because the car was in excelent condition) and I drove 10.000 miles during the last 10 months.
after all those miles, all the problems coming from the long imobilisation have been corected and the car is very healty for the moment

you done well Philippe, Auto's are the most desirable choice of a Delorean. All the clued up members of the club have Auto's, Admin bloke, JRG, Bozzy had One, Alistair did have one, and I myself have one, maybe 2. More smoother drive. You wait, these comments will pay off when the rest of them are getting knee replacements in about 2 years time!!!

you are right, they are smooth to drive, but as I mention above the car is in delorean europe for a stage II upgrade. a little bit more (not a lot) power, will be just fine to me. no need to get 200+ HP, just be able to accelerate faster than my girl friend's citroen berlingo !!! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
