Re: [DML] Roadable DeLoreans

The number will entirely depend on the definition. Does a dead battery disqualify?   How about a missing battery?   And so on.

Even given a precise definition, who would possibly know?  Any such number is just a wild-ass guess.

Mine is unquestionably roadable insofar as it's frequently out and about, if only for twenty minutes a week in decent weather. I find it hard to believe there are still 2999 others ready to go at the turn of a key... a full third of those produced...after thirty years. Five or ten years inactive in a garage under a tarp ("waiting for it to get really valuable") will probably put any car in a coma, don't you think?
