It seems the penny has dropped that they may have paid too much for the car.....

It still has issues which are being worked on, seats recovered, fans aren't working properly apparently it's overheated badly recently

A friend of mine is hiring the car to try a RHD out, the new owners have invited me over to see their collection

I don't think this is (just) a fan problem, I hear the engine had serious blockage issues with the cooling passages.

I think a lot of the prv's are having similar issues at this age, just going by issues I am hearing from other owners.

I watch this and for the second time (along with Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee) I see a Delorean loosing coolant:(

I think this episode has a lot more trivia about the NON-Delorean owners / fans and is more educational for the.
But from the technical aspect, yes Wheeler Dealers had more info on the repair.

But definitely not a cheap buy, even if it is an original RHD

I met up with Ant Anstead this morning.

They're planning a Series 2 of "For the Love of Cars" :shock:
