my daugther was watching the music channel when out the corner of my eye i see this delorean on one of the videos anyone seen one pimped like this fancie it myself

normally dont mind modyfying anything but there is a certain car or two that should be left as is and this os one of them

really i thought it looked nice

it does look nice, but i think it should be as is, its an iconic motor

i feel the same about my zed

they start at about 20k now there one in my road and he doing up the problem is getting the spares is difficult

No dont like that guys it just looks wrong :no: I know it was totally modded in back to the future but it could time travel lol

Shame it isn't a rhd or i likely would have got one years ago; i'm not really into lefties !

There's one in colchester I've seen it a few times in the summer .Think wheeler dealers done one not sure what they paid for it or sold it for there going up in price if you can find one for sale in the uk .

There is definitely a fake one in Colchester made from a old vw scirroco. But haven't seen the real one before.

Awesome looking cars, shame they didn't have the performance to match the looks.

there is a massive spares place in the states I watched a prog on them, apparently the exterior panels are made from brushed stainless steel, a scratch ding whatever see tha whole panel being re-polished to remove it! I think that one looks quite cool but tbh they were a bit crap, weighed a tonne and were a bit gutless by all accounts 150hp and nearly 1.3tonne that's 2.8 capri power to weight nigh on, bera in mind the capri went out of circulation in 86. Infact looking into it, it is a ford cologne v6 the same v6 fitted to the capri. massive price tag on release old fashioned v6 lump well the styling is a bit tooo robo cop. Looking at the American car market, just 2 years prior to its release Pontiac had released its 79 trans am a beautiful piece of automotive history, seriously if you'd had the cash in 1981 what would you have brought amongst the variety of imports and gmc's offerings. The cars production ran for one year and sold 9000 units, that speaks for itself.

I agree. I'm a big fan of the delorean, will have one some day, they look good as they are. There's a place in Houston that makes them, brand new ones. I've been to the factory in LA, they make back to the future replicas. Also had one as my wedding car.

There's a few factory RHD ones out there but they're normally much more expensive as they're very rare.

I have seen a few at various classic car shows.....

 

....I believe they had a Lotus sourced engine, though...!

It was designed by a guy from lotus, the engine was made up of Volvo & Renault & Peugeot parts.

Engine;

Originally, it's a Peugeot Renault Volvo V6 (PRV-6) 2849cc Bosch K-Jet fuel injected SOHC 90 degree V6. It's a US emission-controlled amalgum of the Renault 30 and Volvo B28 engines.

 

Appaently !

Ahh - yes, I do remember the Renault engine now!! And what you say explains why I thought of Lotus....

yep indeed it was a renault engine and only had 130bhp for a 3.0lt

I love off the wall threads like this !

Makes you dig a bit and perhaps learn something ? Brilliant !

 

Alan.........

If you dont like them modded, this aint for you ! lol.

LOL! I used to look after a couple of these many years ago for customers that used to come in - to say I was dissapointed was an understatement! They are a load of cr@p!! I used to quite like them until I worked on them & drove them!! :x:

I've got quite a few pictures of them, will put them up later, see if I can find the one of the gold plated delorean.

gold plated delorean in Reno, 1 of 2 originals. Delorean garage in LA. The back to the future car in Universal Studios.
