Discovery Channel show Wheeler Dealers is selling a DeLorean! Wheeler Dealers is a programme where we buy iconic classic cars, fix their faults and then sell them on.

For the new series we’re featuring a DeLorean which was bought in California and has recently been shipped into the country. It is currently going through the full Wheeler Dealers treatment. We plan to bring it to the EuroTec event on Friday 24th June. We intend to showcase the event and also sell the car whilst it is there to create a great finish to the episode. Therefore we're currently taking offers on our DeLorean.

Potential buyers should be aware that the car isn’t completely finished as it is currently being worked on, however I’ve detailed the work that will be carried out.

Year: 1982
Mileage: 23 700 miles
Transmission: Manual, 5 speed
Engine: 6 cylinder
LHD
Grey interior

Recent work carried out:
- new clutch master and slave cylinder
- new fuel system (new pump kit, new fuel filter, new fuel lines, new sender unit, new belts and hoses, new 02 sensor)
- rebuilt injection pump + rebuilt 022 fuel injectors
- new heater valve
- new radiator + hoses
- new clutch

Future work to be carried out before show:
- interior revamp: new seat covers, gear lever gator, carpets, recovered binnacle, A post trim, glove box lid, mirror adjustment switch + window motors, original jack + spare wheel and interior light assembly
- re-furbed wheels
- windscreen replaced

We’re looking to arrange viewings for next week. The car is currently in Berkshire.

Ideally we’d like the buyer to be filmed as part of the TV show at EuroTec.

We are looking for offers around £19 995. For further details and / or pictures of the car in the condition we bought it please contact matt@attaboytv.com or call 0207 740 3000.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The Wheeler Dealers Team

Friday is rolling road day, hope the noise doesn't disturb the filming, unless they want a go on the rollers !

A go on the rollers can be arranged! :thumbsup:

But the noise won't be a problem. We're only talking 1 minute at a time, probably 12 times tops over the whole day, and I have the power (literally!) to stop it for filming! :mrgreen:
Also - the filming will be on the other side of the car park :geek: - and probably from fairly early in the morning too :?
