[DML] Re: Photos Of PILOT25 Uploaded

HI all

I managed to find the original licence book that the owner had lost.

The car was originaly owned by Delorean and has Delorean Motor 
Company as the first owner of the car!! This made the job of getting 
the car registered no problem as the car still had its original 
registration plates RIA 7124 which can be seen in the "Gold 
Portfolio" book.  I had to get the car looked at by the car tax 
people but they had no problem with it as it had already been taxed 
before (It had not been taxed since 1985 by the way!!).

I managed to find a few bits of info on the car from various poeple 
that either worked on the car or from archives.

1.)  The car was built about 8-9 months before vin#500 and used by 
the factory to promote the car round Ireland, it the car used in the 
promotional photos at the Giants Causeway and at the factory in 
Dunmurry.

2.)  The car originaly had the black interior, but since the car sat 
in the fastory during its entire life it was fitted out with all the 
latest modifications before they were used on the production cars.  
My car has one of the only on piece moulded engine covers (ie it has 
no metal inserts - its one piece moulded plastic) that I have ever 
seen.

3.)  When the car was put up for auction in 83' it was given a new 
engine and a new grey interior but not a new dash, it stayed black 
along with the binacle.  It was then sold to the person I bought the 
car from and is listed in the auction portfolio as the last delorean 
ever sold in Northern Ireland from the Delorean Motor Company.

4.) The guy I bought it from had taken it home from the factory and 
locled it in his garage, he drove it exactly 5 times in 23 years and 
one day last year I just happened to find it!

Thats all I know so far.
