"" The advert has been updated with more information """


This statement motor car had had just one owner here in the UK, who imported the DeLorean himself from Jacksonville in 1991; the previous custodian, we understand, was a detective in Ohio. Used sparingly as a fun motor car, the high specification GT has clearly been maintained to a high standard and is described as very good with no known faults. The vendor instructed a specialist body-off rebuild in 2006 at a cost of some £7000; this included a thorough check for corrosion in the substructure, which was repaired appropriately. In 2013, the cylinder head was overhauled and a new radiator and battery fitted, relieving the owner of a further £2748! The sympathetic work has retained all of the DeLorean’s original features (including the interior and carpets with their logos) and the supercar is being offered for the first time in the UK due to the vendor’s house move and general downsizing…..

The history file includes the V5C registration certificate, the workshop manual, shipping papers, the HM Cusoms and Excise document, the State of Ohio Certificate of Title, MOT test certificates and sundry invoices. The original tools and the space saver wheel are also supplied.

An amazing opportunity to acquire a part of international motoring history.

(Please Note: The registration number IJI 81 is not included in the sale)
