  Self-drive hire for my 18th b'day
Posted by: theningiachicken - 31 Jan 2019, 17:08 - Forum: TV/Film Hire and Work Requests - Replies (11)

Hi everyone
This year I will be turning 18 in July Big Grin and I would love it if I could have the chance to drive a Delorean.

I know this is kind of a grey area for you guys as I've seen other people ask before but they were unknown to the club but most of you know me personally (car shows & meet-ups) would anyone be willing to do this

Also I am a fully qualified driver and own my own car (not a DMC unfortunately but close in colour)

Photo VIN 5219
Posted by: DMC1983 - 25 Jan 2019, 20:26 - Forum: Members Cars - Replies (80)

Hello 

Im finally an owner after putting in a ton of overtime. I purchased 5219, a manual grey interior october 81 car from BHCC. The payment has just cleared and now begins the actual importing part.

This is a restoration job, how big I dont really know yet. I know what the interior needs but I will be concentrating on getting her to be a reliable and a decent driver first. 

The plan was always to get a decent driver with very little work needed to begin with. However, after seeing asking prices recently I decided a restoration was the way to go. Now that Ive bought a car, I feel it was the best decision. Im going to appreciate the car more than I already do and im gonna know whats gone into the car. Im really looking forward to getting my hands dirty.

The great thing is there will now be another DeLorean in the UK. The hard part for me is I have to wait up to 8 weeks before it lands here.

Here are a few pics from the listing:

  PRV Engine on EBay
Posted by: Chris Williams - 23 Jan 2019, 21:01 - Forum: DeLorean Cars or Parts For Sale or Wanted - No Replies

On EBay at the mo, apparently:

Was a runner but been stood for 20 years so will require full strip down, turns over smoothly.

had an potential buyer lookat the engine and apparently the valley has deep corrosion which is a known issue with these engines


I'm sure there is corrosion, there always is but until stripdown you cant tell really. May be OK

  International Sports & Classic Car Show, Peterborough. 25-27 May 2019
Posted by: Chris Williams - 22 Jan 2019, 18:00 - Forum: Southern England - No Replies

Attention All Car Clubs.....
Hello All,
I have sent a previous email to you guys introducing you to the International Sports & Classic Car Show to be held at the incredible East Of England Showground on May 25th - 27th.

It is incredibly vital to the show that we have as many car clubs as possible in attendance because without "YOU" the clubs, there is no show....

We are proud to say that we have already sold 43,000 advanced tickets which should see us achieve the 70,000 visitors target over the course of the weekend.

Would your club be interested in attending the show... ?? here are a few details that will help you decide..

Each club will be required to have a minimum of 8 cars on display at all times.. 
We have allocated enough space to clubs to allow for a marquee and 8 cars.
Club stands would need to be manned from 9am to 5pm on each of the 3 days.
Each driver will be given a free access pass for both driver and car, passenger passes will be offered at £10 each for the day.
Club Marquees welcome, sell your club merchandise, and entertain new members.... 

Each club will be advertised in the event programme which will be supplied free each day.

There is camping on site which will be charged at £15 per day and access will be available from Friday the 24th May at 2pm. Electricity and water is available on site for campers.

The website for the event is www.internationalsportscarandclassic.co.uk 

We hope you and your club will come and join us for this  fantastic event.
Should you require any further information please get in touch.

Best wishes

Chris Campbell

  Classic and Retro Festival, Gloucester. 24th August 2019
Posted by: Chris Williams - 22 Jan 2019, 17:59 - Forum: Midlands - Replies (1)

Dear Sir / Madam
 
Please find attached an invitation to you and your members to a special Festival we are hosting in the City of Gloucester on 24th August 2019.
 
The Classic and Retro Festival is a unique event celebrating living history and particularly transport throughout the ages.  For this event we shut down our inner City and bring in Classic and Historic vehicles representing as many different marques as possible.
 
We have four Historic Gate Streets and each is themed and represents different eras of time 1900-1949, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s to modern day times.
Each Street has re-enactors, businesses, shops, restaurants, and celebrities all playing their part with good food, fashion and with music and dancing providing extra entertainment, enjoyment and fun for all, whilst we also support our charities at the same time.
 
The cars may be driven right into the heart of the City and park free of charge for the event by authorised application.  There are special prizes for the best cars in each Street and a completion also for those that dress for the occasion.
 
This is an Award winning event and we would be pleased if you have members who you feel would like to join us and could represent the various types and styles of your marque.
 
I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all compliments of the Season.
 
Kind regards
Colin
