The DeLorean Owners Club UK Forum

hi

unfortunately vin 1621 will be for sale shortly.

i have a hefty tax bill, and 2 kids to feed, so 1621 i think will have to be sold..shame.

is a black interior manual gas flap.

been in the UK about 4 years, loads of new parts where required and reconditioned where possible.
includes new screen, fully refurbished wheels (original matched grey), repainted fascias, had the Chris Nicholson treatment (rebrush, painted air intakes, wipers etc etc.)
new steering bush, new seatrunners and adjust bars, 2 new lights, new plugs, ht leads, dizzy, y pipe connectors, recon y pipe,recon calipers, new discs all round, new pads, new front bearings, new heater pipe (under y pipe), recon Valley with HT paint, new door handles, new TABS by Chris, new fuel pump, filter tank pickup system by specialTauto
only 14500 miles, original window stickers plus some other paperwork, uk registered, will have 12 months mot.
interior needs new seat leather. headliner board is out the car but i have new material from DaveH, original craig works (on one speaker though trying to sort!).

under is pretty clean, a few bits of epoxy to patch up but i would say pretty good.

just trying to get back on the road after sorn 5 months, have a new heater resistor.

exterior is great and nothing needed. engine just fitting the new HT leads. has new battery.

as the interior needs the seat covers (one black and one grey at the moment) i was looking for about £14750

open to any inspection tests etc whatso ever, i have nothing to hide. do not want to sell really

regards

Good luck with this - sounds like a very reasonable price for the condition.

I'll definitely come and see when you're ready; the American beasts aren't costing me much

sorry to hear that Steve, especially after all the work you've put into car.

Richard - are you about this weekend? Got Malc & Gaye Lomas and RichH (DOC-UK Technical
Advisor) coming over on Saturday for a petrol head session

Claire - possibly - I was going to go see friends in Melton and then possibly London, but there's an amount of cat herding so I might give up! I hadn't realised my house sale is done a week on Friday?! These things always creep up on you

hi
thought i would add to my list!.
new accumulator, new fuel tank, stainless brackets under battery, new bonnet brackets, new light buckets, new rpm relay, new vacuum pipes, new vac unit, nos warm up regulator, recon water pump, new hoses to pump, new roll bar bushes, new stainless brake hoses to each wheel, new air filter, new oil and filter, water bypass kit fitted, new inner and outer door seals, new tyres all round (P600 rears), recon rock screen, repainted window surrounds.
car sits on US springs but have a set of lowered springs to go with car.

i also have a turbo might be available at extra cost. (unfitted!).

the fuel computer has been tested fine (Martin DMUK)

as you can see many many £££'s spent and like Phil Peters i am particular about originality where i can be.

could do with a new exhaust heat shield, seat leather (but perfectly usable at present), gear stick leather, cargo net. carpet behind passenger has a rip but not noticeable at all. and passenger seat had a rusty seat runner (new ones now) so a bit of stain behind the seat but unable to see when the seat is in its normal position.
car was stored for 15 years in New York State, and had one US owner. i even have documents with the key number on from purchase.
instrument pod is undamaged, and the dash is 99% crack free.
stainless has no dings and no scratches and no X
aircon i have never installed the drive belt so not sure if it would work...all the parts are there though and i see no reason why it should not work with a regas and drive belt.

will make a great car for an enthusiast and hopefully a club member.

Regards

Steve

okey dokes mate - drop me a PM if you are and I'll let you have our home phone number
and destructions on how to get here - failing that, you can always come over to Gaydon
on 28th June for Supercar Sunday

Sorry to see you need to sell the car Steve, following your updates on the forum over the past few years I can tell you've put a lot of work into it. I'd like to see some pictures of the car.
Cheers,
Stu

yes, certainly do not want to sell. but needs must (and the tax man!)

i have some work coming in, but not enough paying.

yes stuart, will sort some pics out shortly. the alternator has gone (well not charging) so i am taking off for a recon.
when back on might try the aircon belt as well to see if that works ok.

yes much time, effort and money spent...the hours i spent under that car, even changed the clutch slave by hugging the gear box underneath!.
that reminds me, clutch master rebuilt, clutch slave rebuilt, i think i had a new brake master, new hot stove pipe,
everytime i think of the car, i remember more parts i reconned.

ayway, i hope that when i do sell, and when funds recover i will become an owner again. once you've got the bug!!!

regards

Steve, the house sale completes next week. Whilst I'd be pushing my budgets, any chance I could see the car soon?

I'd have loved to, but hayfever got me . I need a lawn tractor! 8 hours exposure to pollen, the lawn's got to knee height, and I'm still only 1/2 way done

know the feeling mate - I literally have to wade through the grass in our orchard to get to
the veggie patch, and it takes Phill about 2hrs to do the other lawns on the ride on mower.

I really must get a goat..... :lol:
