Hello DOC-UK members. 
 
As Administrator of the DeLorean Registry, we at the Texas DMC club believe our database is near complete with (currently) 8845 VINs and lots of attribute information about each car (configuration, engines swaps, paint, RHD, etc.).  Questions such as ‘How many VINs are in the UK’, and ‘How many are setup for RHD’ can be answered.
 
But, I am also in search of missing VINs, and attribute information for other VINs that we do have but don’t have information for.  This thread will be for posing updates (new and corrections) if you are so inclined.  I will monitor this thread for updates.
 
I also am the Administrator of the DeLorean Owners Directory (DOD), which is a database of VIN owner contact information provided by owners themselves on a completely volunteer basis.  The DOD contains the most up-to-date, verified, and accurate contact information out there, with over 1000 entries.  This modern list is a derivative of the original DeLorean directory created by James Espey (founder of DMC-News, the DeLorean Mailing List) back in 1995.  If you have not already joined, please do so at your convenience.  Thank you for your consideration.

Here is a quick list of links:

• Find you own VIN.
  
• How many VINs in the UK (242), in Ireland (52), are RHD (45), are painted (145), etc.?
  
• Join the DOD (and make updates yourself).
  

Hello DOC-UK members. 
 
My name is Thomas Kidd.  I live in Houston, Texas, USA and I maintain the DeLorean Texas Club’s online Registry database, in coordination with Shannon Birdwell who maintains the DeLorean Chronology.  I also am the Administrator of the DeLorean Owners Directory (DOD), which is a database of VIN contact information provided by owners themselves on a completely volunteer basis. 
 
I frequent DMCTalk.org, and I have visited DMC-UK as a guest numerous times, but only recently joined because I believe a number of VIN count questions can be answered that have been asked on this forum in the past.  Questions like:  How many VINs are in the UK, and how many are setup for RHD? 
 
Looking forward, I am also in search of missing VINs, and attribute information for VINs we do have listed but don’t have such information for.  So I will be starting a new thread in the appropriate place that I will monitor for updates.  Please watch for it, and if you would be so kind as to post your updates there.  I understand some people don’t wish to disclose such information, that’s perfectly ok too.
 
Thank you and regards to all friends across the pond.
 
Thomas Kidd

Finally (today) the stands have been allocated for this years show. So as ever we are looking for cars and volunteers to help out over part or all of the event. Ideally we would like 3 cars on the stand. They have to be in place from the Thursday(11th) until the Sunday PM. We are positioned next to an entry/exit so should be easier at least!
I'm not sure how exactly the show will work with Covid restrictions but as a responsible club we will provide all necessary precautions and will follow the guidelines of the show organizers and Govt guidelines at the time.
Discounted tickets will be available and the discount code will appear in the next couple of club magazines.

Good evening,
Are there any owners in the Cheshire or North West area at all please?
Desperately searching for a DeLorean and getting nowhere.
September 18th is the relevant date, evening request for photo opportunities at an event.

Thanks in advance.
Brendan.

I noticed this car for sale on eBay a LANCIA MONTECARLO and I must admit it did remind me a lot of the Delorean, just wondered if there was ever a connection in the design?

New user saying hello....

I have just recently purchased a Delorean fulfilling a 30 year dream.  Looking forward to getting it to the UK (currently in Ireland) and on the road.  A few mechanical issues to sort and some cosmetics but that’s part of the fun of owning a classic car!

Looking forward to getting to know the club members - please be kind with my inevitable questions when it arrives!

Hi everyone,

Just writing a quick hello as a new (old) member and enthusiast. I was originally member #347 about 15 or so years ago when Chris Parnham was club secretary (Hi Chris!) but unfortunately never made it to any of the big meets although I met a few from the club (Stuart Nicholls at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006 and Stephen Knight in Ayr - not sure if they're still members...?) during that time and it was always a pleasure. 

I've recently re-joined the DOC after living and working abroad for 11 years. Financially, I'm slightly closer to owning a D than I was before but I've noticed the prices have risen considerably! 

Good to see there's a Scotland rep! I will drop James a line soon. I saw an old thread that mentioned monthly meetings just outside Edinburgh around 2015...? If anything like this started up again, I'd be keen to get involved 

Anyway, it's good to be back and I hope to meet some more members soon.

Mike
Near Penicuik, south of Edinburgh.

So the time finally come, to those who i haven't seen/ spoken to over the silverstone weekend i can officially say im now a full Delorean owner of VIN-5222.

Over 8 years of being obsessed with the car i finally acquired one, she's still a touch red but thats soon to be removed over the winter months, engine runs but has difficulty holding idle (Rich Hutchinson has identified half the issue yesterday being the idle speed motor being seized), frame is solid with a bit of surface rust on the front extension and interior needs light restoration.

I will be vlogging as much of the restoration as i can and posting to the cars instagram page deloreangt.
