My son, Simon and his friend went up to the Royal Horticultural Halls today and gave the DeLorean a thorough inspection. His report to me was: strange silver paint job flaking in places, black interior, manual, ripped driver's seat, some surface chassis rust and chassis was black at the back not that grey colour, little bit of eyebrowing, 240kilometer speedo so mileage could be different to recorded, gas flap, strange engine bay cover with heavy metal grills, modern stereo, smelt like a farm inside, no trim around the doors, doors opened and shut really well (perfect), struts on engine bay and bonnet shot AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST - NO VIN PLATE! I arrived just in time for the auction itself and bid up to £4400 against someone on the phone. I must admit to wondering if the person telephone bidding was someone I knew. It went for £4500 plus 15% buyer's premium. Not bad if you want a cheap D to run around in, but maybe a bit risky with the faults listed above. Let me know if you were the buyer.
