anyone know was this one painted by Ernie Hewitt for Noel Orr garages in NI - along with a couple of others?

Interesting Kevin, I wonder what it will reach...have to keep an eye on the auction.

Dermot, the car that Ernie painted red was Vin 11622, which I owned at one point, which has been returned to stainless..another was painted green which is still green and in Belfast, another was cream location unknown AFAIK.

I knew about those three (I finally saw a picture of the green one in an old Delorean World recently - nice)

I just wondered how many people in NI were doing great paint jobs on Deloreans in that time frame and perhaps there had been a 4th.

Its possible but they wouldnt have been painted by Ernie Hewitt, I tracked him down in 2002, he was working as an assessor for Norwich Union.

He remembered painting the cars very well, and saiod it was definitely only three he painted.

[Dangermouse]

Well obviously he would know...

Wonder where it was painted.

Here's the car, naked, in Motor Makers in Ireland book from 82:
