Just borrow the money,buy the car then go back in time a couple of days you will have both cars and never have to pay the money back

Plan

unfortunately this one is in a similar state to the one Doc left in the mine for them to find in the 60's, so the time circuit's shot....

You can buy anything these days

[darkcat]

heh!! may have to get one anyway to put in the back!!!!

TBH the construction is very TVR-esque....
fibreglass tub over a steel chasis (though its a pressed chassis as opposed to tubular)

cant wait to pull up at tescos and open the gull-wing

Wow - toughie, but yes, what an opportunity. I know I'd never give up mine, but something like that would really make me think.

No chance of having both?

Wasn't it stainless steel clad GRP

Either way it certainly is different so why not

Yes its stainless over a grp tub, over a steel chassis.

atched BTTF last night just for the sake of it, and i can catagorically say that the real thing sounds nothing like it does in twin-pines car park! a bit more agressive v6 than the v8 burble.

Interesting history to these cars! Wasn't there a scandle in the 80's, in that some guy managed to get £75m out of the uk government to set up shop in Ireland, only for him to produce a few thousand cars and go bust with no cash left?
I saw a Delorean about 2 weeks ago on the back of a low loader on the A556 near the M6 J19. Your new pup by anychance?
