Only ever seen one before in my life, driving near Matlock today and 3 went past the other way in convoy, really odd to see them together,

I think I've only seen one in the wild too. Closest I've ever got to one was at the MPH show in Birmingham a few years ago and they had one on display. It was still roped off though, so even though they're my favourite car I've still never touched or sat in one frown

They were probably just the same one three times, displaced a few seconds in time.

I live about 6 miles from Matlock and I have never seen a Delorean around those parts, let alone three in convoy. frown

I have only seen one in the wild. In Petersfield, Hampshire.

Spotted a rough looking Delorean in Cheltenham last night. Looked rough, sounded even worse & i had forgotten just how ugly they are!

Never liked them even though I have driven two of them in the past. As bad to drive, IMO, as they are too look at.

I'd never seen one till Goodwood last year, then 6 appeared a once!



I'd suspect these ones were going to or from a show.

There are at least 3 around the Notts/Derby border. One in Heanor, one in Brinsley and one in South Normanton.

See here from the midlands forum.

ayup chap, bit of a hangover from when she got rear-ended last year (by someone driving 'Nuke' for us), the crank pulley got damaged, but we managed to get one off a scrap engine that a friend of ours in Derby had, so she's now all fixed, MOT'd and taxed and I've already been out and about enjoying being behind the wheel of her again smile

If the weather is good (and Phill gets home from London in time), then expect to see us (and probably Rich from Heanor and Julian from Sth Normaton) with our De's at the next meet up biggrin

So could have been these.

I had a good look at one of these at a car show last year.

I liked the way that the body work was brushed stainless steel!

You, young sir need to get to the likes of Papplewick on a Wednesday night.

Joking aside, you're not far off a licence are you?
