Hi everyone, just wanted to share with you all about the below. FREE to attend if you're interested:-

2011 DeLorean EuroTec Weekend - 24th June 2011 - Norfolk, UK
The 6th year of this event!



This event is taking place across the weekend of Thu 23rd, Fri 24th, Sat 25th, Sun 26th June 2011 in Norfolk. As with the Lotus 2006 event and the highly successful sell-out EuroTec events in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, this will be centred around club member and DeLorean car owner, Arran's (that's me!) private hotel. Previous event pictures can be found here!
Click here for the main information page on this event or click here for the main DeLorean events page

Attendance at these events is always high, and 2010's event had 125 people in attendance, of which 45 were DeLorean owners with 35 DeLorean cars.

As with the last 5 years, this will be a guaranteed sell-out, and the best rooms will be allocated in booking order. At the moment the entire hotel (40 rooms) has been blocked booked for this event's exclusive use, so please book soon to ensure it stays this way! Strong interest has already been shown again for this event, as before there is NO charge for the event itself, just the cost of food, drink and accommodation. Previous years have been attended by 30-40 DeLoreans. The entire hotel is used exclusively just for this event.

Already booked in as of June 2010 are 58 people, with 24 DeLorean cars!

Booked in again, and staying at the hotel:
- Chris Nicholson from PJ Grady (Europe)
- Darren Lampert from PJ Grady (Europe)
- Ed Uding from DeLorean Europe
- Stephen Wynne, President of DeLorean Motor Company (Texas)

- Roger Jarman - Former Employee of DMC (1979-1982)
- Neal Barclay - Former Employee of DMC (1981-1982)

Follow this event on Facebook!:

The basis of the weekend will be around 'Workshop / Tech sessions' throughout the weekend, as well as socialising and meeting new faces. A workshop marquee will be set up to provide shelter and areas of work, and as before we will take over the bar for the weekend

Specialists will be on hand to provide us with technical and hands on assistance over the course of the event. This will involve engine tuning, wheel alignment, minor bodywork re-graining / repairs, torsion bar adjustments, etc. etc.! Many more 'activities' are planned, details to follow. A rolling road will be in attendance on the Friday from the morning.



As before we will be arranging a scenic drive and other activities over the weekend (mainly on the Saturday) - more to be announced later. There will be plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend, with something for eveyone. As usual, the main organisers will be Arran, Mike, Alistair, Nick T and JRG.

Food costs and menus (see above for "DeLorean Drivers Free Food Offer"):
Friday 7.30: Main course, plus self serve dessert - £11 per person
Saturday 8.00-9.30: Breakfast (included in accommodation price)
Saturday 1.00: Lunch Buffet (hot and cold) - £6 per person

Wheeler Dealers

Discovery Channel show Wheeler Dealers is selling a DeLorean! Wheeler Dealers is a programme where we buy iconic classic cars, fix their faults and then sell them on.

For the new series we’re featuring a DeLorean which was bought in California and has recently been shipped into the country. It is currently going through the full Wheeler Dealers treatment. We plan to bring it to the EuroTec event on Friday 24th June. We intend to showcase the event and also sell the car whilst it is there to create a great finish to the episode. Therefore we're currently taking offers on our DeLorean.

OK - here is the draft itinerary!:

As a result, for those who have been before, there will be another bar seating area in the top section of the restaurant. This area is also the designated music area.

11:15 – Casino Night winner announced / awards.


Most importantly the suggested dress code for the Saturday night is "black tie" - i.e. tuxedo/bowtie for the gents, posh dresses for the ladies. This is not enforced, but you'll find most people will be dressed this way - as we did in October last year.
