Unregistered DMC appears in Canterbury

Postby Tom H » Sat Feb 09, 2013 11:25 pm

Just discovered this on eBay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1981-DELOREAN-LEFT-HAND-DRIVE-RESTORATION-/150989455819?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5480860850112818767%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D150989455819%26

I go to Canterbury almost every weekday for uni... Could have I been walking past this car for the past few years? :shock: lol

Looks a bit ropey if I'm honest.

Anyone know anything about this car? I know it's difficult when it's unregistered >_<

There's a discussion on the other forum about it. Looks like a set of pictures which were originally taken for a previous sale in the US. So either scam or current seller has bought the car but it hasn't landed in the UK yet. Or he's not been bothered to take new pictures. Either way, doesn't imbue buyers with confidence.

There was a thread on DMCTalk too. Do a search on "acuti" and you will find it.

Yeah if he is honest, he probably hasn't been bothered to take his own photos of it. He claims to have all the import registration documents.

The seller also doesnt seem to have too much knowledge about the car itself as he states it has a 3.5 litre engine and he has listed it under "Classic cars > Jensen" :shock:

And ah I didnt know there was already a discussion on the other forum about it going on... I should really look there more often lol.
