James, There were two DeLorean dealerships in Saudi Arabia; one on Jeddah and one in Riyadh. They both carried the standard dealer compliment of cars and spares. When the factory closed they had some difficulty selling their stock, but quite a number of cars were purchased new by English workers out there on the oil fields. By 1990 everything had been sold, but I was offered a painted pink DeLorean for 40,000 Riya by the Jeddah dealer. (I declined his offer on this "pink panther" car!) In Kuwait City a similar dealership existed. After the Gulf war the only remaining DeLorean known to exist was rescued by Captain Stephen Carrington of UNIKOM (United Nations Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission). He shipped the car back to England and after fitting out the interior with yellow and purple leather interior he sold the car.
