"Lefty" or 83 DMC for sale - Chris P - 23 Dec 2007
Hi List happy Christmas,
Well I rearly never though I'd be writing this email, but I give you all a bit of advanced notice that "Lefty" my much loved 1983 Delorean will be for sale in the spring. It is without doubt the best car I have ever driven, and has still covered less than 3,000 miles. I will be asking £19k for it. That does not include the number plate, 83DMC, which could also be available. But it is a very valuble number and cost me heaps. It would be £6k to a club member or for £2k you could have BAK 5T, both of which have been on the car for several years. The car holds so many memories for me. It was my BTTF for 4 years, It was the car we drove down to Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons last year for the Queens Birthday cerabrations, etc. etc. I have owned this car longer than any other car in my life, over 7 years.
The reason I am selling? Well I have bought a very special RHD car from Oz. Vin 510. It was very expensive and with shipping and VAT will be the most expensive car I have ever bought in my life.
Any serious viwers are welome to get in touch. for Photo's etc. use history@deloreans.co.uk But as I now live on a muddy building site there will be no test drives untill things dry up considerably!

Oh, balls. I had hoped calling dibs on it would keep it safe for the next 5-6 years while I saved up
It is a very nice car. Congrats on the new acquisition!

I'm shocked.
There isn't really mch else I can say to that.
I was fortunate enough to drive this car to a show in Derby back in the summer of 2006 and I have to agree with Chrispy that it does feel incredibly tight as though the 25 years have had no effect on it.
Obviously it'll be a shame to see it go as I've been a member of the DOC for as long as Chris has had that car.
Still, things move on I suppose.
