Make sure you inspect the car prior to buying. I bought #0944 after a brief visit to the owner, who extensively described the state of the car. It is only in need of some small cosmetics.
There is one in Belgium for sale at the moment, but this one has had front accident damage, and needs to have quite a few parts replaced to get it properly road going. Shocks, brakes. The bodywork on outside is pretty ok, but if you want to do it properly, frame off, parts of, weld it, recoat it and put it back on.
My big advantage was that I worked a lot on the Lotus Esprit, a far cousin of the Delorean, so I had an impression of what I would be getting myself into.
