After over 8 years, the time has come to sell my beloved DeLorean, due to changes in circumstances which mean it just doesn't get used enough.
She is Chassis number 11431, The build sheet I have is dated 18th January 1982.
Purchased by me in May 2003, she was then registered DCZ5284. She was registered the year before in GB and in 2000 in Northern Ireland, prior to that I was told by the seller she was in a Museum in Scotland for all of her life. The first MOT, before registration which is dated November 1999 states the mileage at 1,167 so I deem this to be correct. The current mileage I therefore believe to be 100% genuine at 20,833 Miles.
Upon purchase, she was road worthy and MOT'd so I enjoyed her use until the MOT came round whereby she went to DeLorean Motors UK Ltd in Early 2004 where the remit was to do everything that was either perishable, had been upgraded for a more reliable part or was safety or reliability related, the work list included New Brake Calipers & Hoses, New Brake Master Cylinder, New Steering Column Bush, Refurbished Steering Rack, all 4 CV Boots, Coil, Water Pump, Thermostat, Recover Headlining Boards, Refurbish Wheels, Replace all Relays, New Injectors, New Clutch Slave Cylinder, New Shock Absorbers, New Clutch and a Stainless Steel Exhaust System.
Through the years, the clutch, door struts, and brakes have been replaced and anything that didn't work was repaired or replaced.
Since then she has had a service and full check over every year and this year had new Discs, pads and Handbrake Pads and cables.
She is fitted with a remote system for doors, windows, luggage compartment and engine lid and also a JVC Tuner/CD/DVD Player.
Condition wise she is excellent considering she'll be 30 years old in January, the Chassis had been Waxoyled prior to my purchase and I have had it reapplied on occasion and it has caused me no issues.
There are a couple of small areas of repaired stainless on the OSF Wing and the bottom of one door and there is a very small pin dent on the bonnet, none of which detract from the cars overall look.
The Space Saver Spare Wheel is missing, although the tools are present.
The Air Conditioning works and is ice cold having been regassed this year, the only item that doesn't always work is the electric aerial which operates when it feels like it, but can be raised and lowered manually if required.
I have all paperwork, MOT Certificates, Tax Discs and all invoices for work carried out during my ownership although there is very little before that as it wasn't registered.
I have original Brochures which are included with the car, she was also featured in Classics Magazine in Feb 2005 of which there is a photocopy of in the file.
If you'd like to arrange to view her or ask any questions, give me a call on 07779 273001.
The Registration number 1982 D displayed in the photos is NOT INCLUDED in the sale, but is available under separate negotiation if the winning bidder is interested in purchasing it.
I will be listing on ebay later today with this description, but happy for any DOCers to view/buy outside of ebay and i'll remove it.
Pricewise i'm open to sensible offers, or its sell for what it makes on Ebay!
