It's gone up.

And they have added the phrase in block capitals "EX-FAMOUS CANADIAN SOAP STAR CAR".

Any connection with the price jump, I wonder

[Jacobweatherill]

Yes i went to view a couple of weeks ago after being put in contact by Brightwells (the auction company where it did not sell) It reached 19k at auction.

Overall the car is is good condition, no service history so mileage cant be proved.

Interior is good little bit of wear and needs replacing, 1 window switch is missing but been still motor still works and demister switch is missing.

Small mark on bonnet and front bumper plastic above headlights needs respraying.

Driver door is not aligned properly so must be a little bit out of shape, so may need aligning again also a mark on the door where it may of been repaired but not very well.

The chassis is in good condition no rust and engine is good, suspension has been upgraded and new water pump.

When i looked at it , it didn't start so had to be jumped, could be the battery or alternator, it did run and drive around a car park, it stopped though and had to be jumped to start again. Not a good sign.

There is a slight knocking too nothing major.

It is very odd trying to figure out the history etc, what i have sussed is that it was imported by a dealer cheaply with 2 other cars, and the owner brought cheaply from the importer and hoping to make a quick ££.

It has not been registered or MOT'D there is import documents though, i of corse asked why it hasnt been registered and was told it is too complicated (which is isnt) and got me worried already.

Before i viewed i was quoted £20,500, owner went on holiday and when came back it was now £22500, when i viewed he came down to £21500. I was not happy with the car so went away and since have brought Kevins VIN2969 which is fantastic.

I have just seen this at £27k which is absurd! The fact it reached 19k at auction says it all. Owner trying his luck to flip it and make lots of money probally paid about 10-15 from usa.

Just had a phone call from a very interesting guy who is on his way to look at this car.

It might be sold in a few hours.

[Jacobweatherill]

I spoke to a guy called Lester yesterday as wanted to know a bit more about the car when I viewed it etc.

Just heard from him and he has brought it and on his way back to .... NORFOLK

Yet another Delorean in Norfolk


On another note a few people local to me in Norfolk has mentioned a guy who has a Delorean sitting in his barn in great Ellingham not really ever used and doesn't go out, apparently has had since new but not 100% does anyone local have any history on this? If not I have spoke to someone who knows the owner and getting contact details as may be an undiscovered one!

Yep, spoke to him too

I've heard about that one too - I think Chris Bale knows him - not sure on any details off the top of my head.
