Delorean Barn Find!
Discussion
ok, after rembering that iphone photos contain gps data, i went to google maps - hit satellite view, and its there!
look at the square of green in the middle - there she is, in the corner!
Anyone know how to find out the age of google's satellite / ariel photos? Judging from that, the grass doesnt look so over-grown

Great find!
The cost of shipping and import, restoration etc would be quite substantial but probably not prohibitive.
Depending on how much you truly want the car!
I was at the car auction when the entire remaining production line cars were auctioned after being shipped from Ireland when John DeL was rumbled. The amount of Government ie taxpayers money that was lost in the Company was mind blowing!
Can t remember what the cars made but it wasn t that much in circa 1980 ish?

te as people tell me they are I'd still love to own one.The gasflap means it's an early VIN - something like Jan through May/June 81. The silver wheels are odd - but they might have been refurbed at some point (early cars have dark wheels). Manuals aren't rare... the weeds growing through the rear engine panel are a sign it's been there some time though (it's missing it's louvres though. Odd.
Oh and a grey interior means later over earlier too. The fact the interior is good is a really positive point - most cars that have been "found" have really bad interiors. The one thing you can't see - the one part that rots above all (engine? meh, it's a PRV V6 used in tons of Pugs and Volvos) is the frame. If that's rotten, it's a tough restore.
I had a couple so it's a nice find - looks great. Save it. Please.
