I got this email today - can someone help?

---------------

Hi Guys

I’m trying to source a Back to the Future Replica for a job in Wales on 30th April this year. Can anyone tell me who now owns Glen Hale’s old car in the Midlands? Desperately trying to track them down as Brian O’Neill is unavailable.

Best regards

Mike Barr

I got the same email, and have helped (in locating that particular car anyway). It's with Clive Priest, although no-one knows that much about him and we don't think he hires the car out or know whether it's even on the road. Unfortunately Brian wasn't available.

Seems like there is a shortage of BTTF cars in the UK now ??

Am I right in thinking it's just Clive Priest (probably off the road), Brian, Keith, Goldsmiths, and The Speakmans with replicas, or have I missed someone out?

I think that Clive always owned it.

hi al

as you now and keep bringing this up yes CLIVe did own the car but not the business and the contract that was wrote up between me and unversal ( uk ) office to use the name and music to back to the future, Clives car is at the moemnt from what i have been told in storeage now as he don,t use it much the person who was trying to find him is mike barr from star cars who is a great friend of mine looking to hire bttf deloreans due to the shortage of them now a days as there is only one in the uk running unless you count keith in ireland in .......

yes there would be a great idea to build one in the uk if someone wants to have a go i have all the paper work from the uk ( universal office ) if you want to do it right or just have it like a hobby then you dont need to bother if ywould then i would gladly so you so or help you get them again

the only active cars around at the moment is ( last time i looket it up was )

BTTF brain = down south BTTF 1
belgum = back to the future 2
france = back tothe future 2 ( chris R old one bristol )
keiths = back to the future 2 & part building part 2 soon :P :P :P

there are as we all now a few static bttf cars around Europe on show but not running


p.s,

if you are thinking of doing such a project that be aware to throw a lot of hard erned pennys into it this as this year we all are finding it hard due to the way the funding is going cash is not so easy to get from events like it used to be easy to

i was shocket to find out this week the a friend in manchester is selling his cars off due to this which i thought i would never see him part with them chitty ( gen 22 ) and the pink panther car



regards
