The DeLorean starter was superseded in about 84 by a smaller, lighter more powerful & faster Valeo unit which is still available new from Renault. It bolts right in and does away with the eyelet connections in favour of spades.

The starter in my car was installed in Aug-81 at the factory in Dunmurray, the car has 75K miles. The starter still sounds strong. That said, my car is such a quick starter that the starter really doesn't work too hard.
