I really like that and wonder if they might have been more successful if they had painted more models.
I think I read somewhere that some were sold in different colours, though may be wrong on that. Also, wasn't the fact DeLorean was found with a mountain of Colombian marching powder more of an issue than the actual number sold? wink

Yes he was, the fact that he was coerced in a sting trap by the FBI is an interesting development in the tale, not sure that would happen now

I was just going to say Fiat did a 4x4 Panda and it's pretty much the same body

I assume a lot of aftermarket parts have been stripped out, including some wide wheels and/or spacers. Reference to supercharger mods being removed so I think they’ve just clogged off suitable wheels also etc and thrown on the originals.
