frededwards   10 #88 Posted May 1, 2013 I know for a fact that a friend of mine who is a classic car dealer (based in West Yorks) sold on just before last Christmas for £19,500. It wasn't the best example I've ever seen , but it was a good, usable car that didn't need a lot spending on it to make it really nice.  The post above yours links to an ad for one only just over £20K.

BarryRiley   10 #89 Posted May 1, 2013 They're not expensive but neither are they classic cars. If they hasn't appeared in the Back to the Future movies they'd probably be adorning some '100 Worst Cars' list   Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

These cars were hyped beyond all recognition. The futuristic design was all it had going for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
diksey   14 #94 Posted May 1, 2013 When the company went bust back in the eighties, the cars were sold at British Car Auctions at Brighouse. I went with a friend of mine who wanted to buy one, I forget how much he paid for it, but after owning it for a short time he had that much trouble with it he got rid. It was brand new when he bought it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Vintlori   0 #95 Posted January 28, 2021 Watching a documentary on DeLorean last night, I recalled seeing the car in the late 1970s at a garage forecourt on the Abbeydale road.  I recall going up to the car and warned against touching the stainless steel body. The first car rolled off the production line in 1981 but the prototype was doing the rounds in 1977. It wouldn’t have been unlikely to have been in Sheffield as the body panels were made from Sheffield steel. I can’t find any reference to anyone seeing the car there, so my recollections may be playing tricks but curious to know if anyone can help with this. However it is such a distinctive car and know the time period is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
