Description
⭕ THE SALE
1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is for sale on our website, Trade Classics. The price listed here is our guide price. Please view Trade Classics to read more about the car with more photos of the car that will show you the full condition, with the option to directly ask the seller any questions you may have.
⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY
There aren't many cars as striking as the DeLorean DMC-12.
Few cars are so inextricably linked to popular culture as the Delorean. While its development and subsequent fate could have easily consigned the car to history as a minor motoring footnote, the 1985 to 1990 blockbuster trilogy Back to the Future has single-handedly elevated the brand to one of the most loved and recognisable cars to have ever been produced.
Its story began in 1973, when John DeLorean left GM to build his own car. Production finally commenced in 1980, with the first cars being delivered in the following year.
The distinctive brushed stainless steel coupe was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, with Lotus helping out with the chassis design. The V6 fuel-injection engine was used on higher-end Peugeots, Renaults, and Volvos, and used conventional running gear. Unfortunately, it was launched during a recession. The messy wind-down of the company in 1982 meant that just 8,975 were produced. However, thanks to its subsequent fame, around 2/3 of those cars survive, and the car is backed up with excellent parts availability and a vibrant owners club.
Subject to restoration in the late 2000s, the current owner sought the best example he could find and approached the owners' club, who found him this facelifted LHD 1981 car. Maintained to a high standard, it was imported into the UK in 1990 and registered in 1998. Smartly presented and very original, with a believed genuine mileage of 33,558 miles, it comes off the back of 13 years of ownership with our vendor, with three sets of keys and has recently been serviced.
