Greetings to all of you in DML, My name is Greg Scalia and I have just last week purchased #4162. This carwas originally bought in Okla City in Sep 1981 (I have the original purchase order) for $US27601. It seems to have been brought to Australia in about 1990. The car has been fully converted to Right Hand Drive using a complete mirror procedure. The car seems to have had about 3 owners in Australia prior to me. It seems to have been in storage for the last 3 or 4 years. This car is one of only 5 D's known to be in Australia. There are no others in my state (Queensland) The D is in pretty good shape. The interior trim is excellent condition with very little evidence of sun damage. The body pannels are clean and relatively free of scratches and the rubber bumpers are great. I have replaced the tyres and all hoses and engine fluids etc. The speedo cable needed repair. I work as a cardiologist in Brisbane Australia. I intend to use the car once or twice per week between hospitals, alternating it with my other car (E240). I obtained the obligatory "88 MPH" plate. Surprisingly, the projecthas the full support of my wife. As this is the only D ever to have livedin this city (or maybe there was one in a collection 10yrs ago) the D turns many heads as it passes by. The following short list of problems has arisen Alternator completely failed and the battery has depleted several times. It doesn't look that old and is being worled on as I type There is a current leak - I think the door lights on the left door are not going off when the door closes. The alignment of the doors and their closing is not good. This will take some work and I expect difficulty finding a local body shop who can deal with this problem There has been warping around the front windshield which will require some form of rebuild All in all, these are only minor problems which I am sure can be solved with suitable application of MONEY. I am delighted to have joined the Delorean Fraternity. I plan to attend the Delorean Owners Assoc Octoberfest In St Loius in combination with a trip to my Alumini (The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio) where I trained in 1995-1996. I look forward to meeting some of you in October in St Louis. I looki forward to talking with some of you soon and gas-bagging about Delorean stories and tricks-of-the-trade. Regards Greg #4162 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address to moderator@xxxx
