Ouch

- flat tyres
- misaligned bonnet
- strange rust/paint on bonnet
- missing RH headlight
- bag of trash on the LH seat

Maybe the engine is worth a couple of bucks.

Flat tyres are easy fix

Bonnet is popped so just needs to be pushed down - but will need to be replaced

Newspapaer on the dash

Missing headlight would be easy to fix

Bit of history there, its an auto so the other must have been a manual

Is that your new runabout Arran, for the school run and that. One wouldn't wish to be laughed out of the car park in anything less :lol:

Not bling enough for me! ;)


On another note though - the lights in that Volvo look sort of familiar too?

I wonder if DeLorean got the idea for the wheels from that ? :)

There is some rust on the bonnet plus some lichen/moss.
What appears to you as trash is actually newspaper put over the dash to stop it fading in the sun. The inside is actually pretty clean.
The headlights are all there and intact - just my rubbish photography.

Auction was car auction in Ballynahinch (same company as now run Carryduff Auctions).

Another identical car from Delorean except white and less used was also sold at same auction.

Engine originally had some sort of ports on it for taking readings/measurements - not sure if they are still there as car had work done at Stanley Motor Works (Volvo) Belfast.
