VIN 510, the earliest factory authorised right hand drive DeLorean has just hit eBay with a high opening bid.
The car is located out in Australia if anyone fancies shipping it back to Blighty? :wink:

Looks in good nic, shame it has a flat 83' hood.
Notice that the front indicators are flush with the bumper.
In the first picture, does the lower engine cover look different to anyone?? I have seen loads but it seems as if there is larger sections covered with wire mesh than the norm.
Interior is in amazing condition, looks brand new.
All this can be yours for £24,631 + Postage and Packaging

I see what you mean Al. Maybe just the angle of the photo though? It's certainly not as special as Pilot #25's lower engine cover :wink:
What struck me also was the panel fit looks remarkable for such an early underbody.

shipping is not so bad, but isn't there the slight problem of duty + vat :oops:
does he want to swap for a 206 53 plate? :lol:

If it was on sale 3 years earlier.... I would have considered it right away! :evil:

Tony's DeLorean passed in with no bids.
I'm sure he'll sell it privately sooner or later. Hopefully it stays in Australia, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went back to the UK, hehe.

I would have expected a far cleaner, more detailed, accurate description for the car, its damn special for sure, he hasn't written the correct milage for example, clearly says 8,633 not 8500... I guess he just needs to sell it asap or something. AWESOME example of a D though!
