:lol: Some very good pics there. I'm sure we'll see at least one of them crop on ebay as a 'great' potential project with a stupidly high reserve.
Thing is with just a bucket of soapy water even that one in the woods would probably look half decent (dread to think what the frame and interior look like though - the costs involved getting them back to any sort of reasonable condition don't bear thinking about).
Good stuff..

I've seen 1, 4 and 5. Do you know anything more about 2 & 3?
Re: Abandoned and Wrecked DeLoreans :D - Chris Williams - 13 Jun 2013
No 3 does look very much like a UK/Europe type of garden as opposed to a US one, wonder where it is?

No 3 is Euopean, but not UK - look at the bike handlebars, at the construction of the house just over the hedge - neither British.
Re: Abandoned and Wrecked DeLoreans :D - RobScott - 13 Jun 2013

Last batch:
1. never seen before. Looks USA
2. Was in a scrappy in South Carolina a few years ago.
3. Recent pic. The car actually had barely a mark on it after they removed the little shrubbery
4. & 5. First looked like the same tub. Maybe are but pics taken at different times. No idea where.
Re: Abandoned and Wrecked DeLoreans :D - Guinney1971 - 14 Jun 2013
another good site for trashed DeLorean pics is www.wreckedexotics.com.
There is/was a car on there that was fire damaged and donated it front fascia and spoiler for my car back in 2003

Re: Abandoned and Wrecked DeLoreans :D - SteveyP - 25 Jun 2013
I think I recognise that middle picture. Wasn't that the one that turned up on ebay recently?
Looks like they must have pulled out the front end of it, then roughly straightened it out a little. All ready for some unlucky punter to get stung on

That's the one.
Any info on the swimming one Rob?
