THE DELOREAN IS BACK!

If there was one car that could divert attention from a Ferrari, it would be a Delorean.

Good news, they’re coming back. The new Delorean Motor Co has decided to resurrect the old bird at their small factory in Texas.

The new firm was formed in 1995 and specialised in selling parts for and restoring the original Deloreans.

However, they have decided to use the parts they have (and a few new ones) to begin production again. The old 2.8 litre Renault V6 isn’t reappearing and more powerful engines are on the cards. Unfortunately they have not been brave enough to release any pictures of the new look car.

The cars will be hand built at a rate of up to two per month. They are expected to retail at about $57,500 (£30,000 ish). Production is expected to start at the end of 2008.

Although they were poorly built, had abysmally underpowered engines, drove badly and were made of touch-and-smudge steel they shot to fame in the ‘Back to the Future’ series of films. And we still want one. In fact, we remember seeing a PHer with one at the Tonbridge Sunday Service?
