Or mabye just the standard black will do. I was in the archives reminising about the old days when DeLoreans had sliding windows, airbags and a (partial) digital dash. Ok, so the styling wasn't quite on, but I think the prototypes were a bit better, well mabye not! I have a very simple question, 2 of them really. Does anybody on the list own a Very Rare Prototype, I think only 8-10 of them were built. I read on the list a few years back that a guy found one of these cars rotting in a front yard rusting away, and I also think a tree branch smashed the front window. At first he knew it was a DeLorean (the list member), but didn't realize it was a prototype, even though he made the distinction that the car had sliding windows. I wonder if anybody bought that car, or owns another one. (Just for perserving history- I'm not going to steel it. And the second question. I have also heard of pre 500 vin cars around, not many due to them being disasembled back into parts. Does anybody on the list have a pre 500 car? (I know a few have been sold at auctions, but the ones I have heard of are ragged out/rusted). And also, lastly, a third question...just came to mind, why are these early cars all destroyed (the ones I have heard about). These people dont know a unique car when they see it, not to mention an irreplacible prototype/ pre production? I guess people have all kinds of money to waste. I just hope the magots dont get to the wooden mockup DMC. It appears that may be the only one left! Tom Porter/ ME, USA Vin: Summer/Fall 2003 'Donations Appreciated'
