Darren, At the moment, I daresay most of the time, there are several D's for sale to choose from. To get one in good working order in the UK, you're looking at £10-£12K. Less than this (£5-£8K) suggests work to be done, and conversely a higher price indicates a more pristine example (up to £30K for Dave Howarths zero-mile minter!) As for fixing one up, Dan Willis has undertaken just such a task and it is currently being chronicled in the DOC newsletters. Chris Parnham has also done a lot of restoration work, as have countless other owners in the DOC and America. The impression I get is that parts are not hard to source, even the DeLorean-only bits, as there are a couple of places still supplying them, but some can be pricey. I haven't owned/worked on any D's ever tho, I'm sure someone will correct me shortly if needs-be :) Anyway, welcome to the club Tris ---- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren.Atkinson" <Darren.Atkinson@xxxx> To: <doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 9:40 AM Subject: [doc] First Post > > Hi everyone, > This is my first post to this mail group, I became interested > in the Delorean after I saw a programme on BBC2 a couple of > weeks back about Mr Delorean.
