It would be a runner needing cosmetic work and most likely a couple of grand spending on it once you got it here on all the random jobs that cars in that condition tend to need (fuel accumulator, refurb brake calipers, ignition system refresh etc etc). But its doable. Perhaps the Knowltons could chime in with their experience?
I think that you are spot on there with your figures Gez.
As I see things at the moment, you would be hard pushed to pick up a running driving car in the UK for £20K currently.
As it happens Me and Barry (Dbro 2) hope to have an option or two in the coming weeks for an 'entry level' DeLorean for anyone who may be interested but we would be looking at more than £20k for what will be a running car.
The (possibly) cheaper alternative would be to import but there obviously is an element of risk involved with this and as you say, you really need to allow circa £3K for the process and several weeks before you take delivery.
If you (BenGW91) feel you would like to discuss any of this with me then feel free to send me a pm
