De Lorean EuroTec

Hi everyone,
New member here. My name is Rob and I have wanted a Delorean for about 25 years now. I'm a little behind on all the latest upgrades that the cars can have these days so I thought it was best to ask here before I go ahead and start looking at cars for sale.
I'm looking to spend around 25k. Would this get me a reliable car? I know these cars are geting on in years so reliable is all relative but I want something that isn't going to cause too many problems. I restore classic bikes and cars as a hobby (used to be professional) but would like a car that I wont have to do too much work on for a change as this will be my own personal car.
I'm in Surrey so somewhere not a million miles away would be great but I'm more than willing to travel a bit for the right car.
Idealy I'd like a manual with grey interior.

Many thanks for any help,

Rob.

welcome to the club Rob

Thank you. It looks like a great place

I would thought £25k would be good enough. But even at that price bracket as you say "reliable" is relative. Tyson is selling in that sort of range: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=69 - although not officially listed yet - and he, like me, has never called the AA, which is quite a rare thing I can tell you!

Thanks for that. Someone else just PM'd me about that upcoming car so I'll keep my eyes open.

Many thanks.

Other than that there are two autos available, one here: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3646 and Paul Birks's car I think. And also a right hand drive, but for more money.
Pretty sure UK-wise that sums up the current situation.

£25 k for tysons car is a good buy

Like him you could drive it to the south of France anyday !

Many many upgrades and updates and all done properly

Mike

Really starting to like the sound of Tysons car
Are there any pics here of it? Thanks for the link arranj. It's really the manual that I'm after. I always worry about auto's in older cars. How are the auto boxes in the DMC's?

I saw the right hand drive one in the UK. It's just a bit out of my price range.

I'm sure he'll make himself known soon enough. This is Tyson and Maria's car (old picture - but you'll see the numberplate in a lot of the club pictures):



It was previously from Chris Nicholson, the DeLorean master, who carried out some restoration work on it, has lots of upgrades, stainless exhaust, etc, and as Bozzzy says - has done a couple of long journeys with no problems!
Still - it is a DeLorean though!

Thank you for the pic. The car looks beautiful! Would it be wise for me to PM Tyson or should I just wait do you think?
I've also been looking at the RHD one that is for sale for 38k I think it was. It looks like a lovely car but is this the sort of price I should be expecting to pay for a really good one?
By the way, when I said reliable, I meant for a 30 year old car. I'm not trying to find the impossable or anything. I just want something that has been well looked after

Thanks for all the help so far everyone.
