to my understanding, EURO SPEC means no catalysator and thus 30 BHPs more.

owner says a Gent will go see the car on Saturday. if he don't buy it (which I doubt), I'll definitely do it next week (I had no opportunity to fly to Belfast this week :( )

Hmm. Removal of the catalyst creates neither euro-spec nor 30BHP, but let us know what you find out when you have a look! :D

This car was displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in 1981.
It also is unusual that it has the smaller Douvrin engine 2.7 L (2664 cc) PRV V6 as opposed to the stock
2.8 L (2849 cc) PRV V6.
It won first place in the Concours competition at Eurofest 2001.

Thanks Robert, that is unusual isn't it? I wonder why?

According to delorean.ie, Adrian's car is now sold. To someone from Hungary. So I think we can assume that is skynet and there is now one less person interested in this car!

You won't get as much as 30bhp by just replacing the cat. It would be nice if it did !

Erm maybe I miss understood the idea but how did it win a Concours competition with the wrong engine? Surely that must be -1000 points? :D
