Hello From South Wales

Postby WelshWrangler » Thu Oct 01, 2020 9:30 pm

Hi,

Everyone, my name is Sam and I live in South Wales. Never owned a DeLorean before or to be honest even seen one in real life!!! Despite this fact I am now the proud owner of a 1981 DeLorean, its just a few thousand miles away in California. Nothing that a shipping container cannot sort out!

It will be my new restoration project. Normally I have only worked on building 4x4 competition vehicles, restoring WW2 Jeeps and I have also built an amphibious car. So the DeLorean will be an exciting new challenge.

No doubt I will have lots of questions and look forward to your support!

Cheers

Sam

You'll be the second DeLorean owner in Swansea.

On FB there's a Welsh owners page.

Hi Sam, Well done on the purchase!
Have you got any photos of it?
We're happy to help if you need any advice or anything.
I'm in Bristol, there are a few other owners nearby as well. Be good to meet up when this COVID bollocks calms down!
