Anyone know anything about this car. Am in the market for one  preference in UK  https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1478580

Just to remind everyone due to the massive up-surge in request for DeLorean age dating certificates. These will only be provided to club members free of charge or on payment of a relevant fee. There's been a huge increase in requests for these since our cars becoming/became tax exempt. There are a large number of cars (including my own) that have the incorrect date of manufacture on the V5 and this requires correction in order to become tax exempt. The list of recognized clubs for dating vehicles is available from the DVLA and downloading form V765/1
This is common practice within Classic car owners clubs (infact most charge a fee even for club members, we don't) Hear is a typical example though with a metal plaque:

Once again, huge thanks to Danny Hopkins - Editor of Practical Classics - for his continued support for this show and his informative parade commentary, plus the fantastic prize of a feature in Practical Classics !!

Vehicle parades, prizes, stalls, games, food, beer, plants, live music,  C13th Church displays - learn about burials connected to 10 Downing Street! A perfect location with marquees if wet, shade under trees if too hot.

This Show has become a highlight in the regional summer calendar yet has retained its quaint charm with a growing loyal following; nearly 200 display vehicles last time.

DIRECTIONS: If you have never been before, Croydon is a small village set on a hill in beautiful South Cambridgeshire countryside. The village lies about 7 miles north of Royston on the A1198 and about 1 mile west of Arrington and Wimpole Park. The Postcode for the Show is SG8 0DX        

A huge THANK YOU in anticipation of your support. Please pass this mail on to other enthusiasts and friends, and invite your family to a great day out!

Issue 93 of D News is being posted out on Monday I hope you enjoy.!! Nice feature on the last Great British Car Journey event from last year, also being held again this year where I'm sure all DeLoreans are again invited along.

Dear classic vehicle owners,
 
On Sunday 4th September, we are pleased to confirm that we will be celebrating the return of Amersham Heritage Day 2022, and we would love for you to join us.
 
Many of you will of course have been to our Heritage Day celebrations before, but for those who may be unfamiliar… as well as vintage vehicles there will be a whole host of other entertainment and activities running throughout the old town.
 
In 2019 (the last event held before Covid), we had an estimated attendance of 8,000-10,000 people throughout the day. We are hoping to match that again for 2022, and there seems to be a huge appetite from the public so far. And of course, the classic vehicles are seen by many as the jewel in the crown of the event!
 
If you would like to join us, there’s no need to register, just turn up on the day! There will be stewards on site to direct vehicle owners. There will be an allocated area reserved specifically for classic and vintage vehicles which will be accessed from the top end of the Old Town High Street via Shardeloes and Mill Lane.  Please find attached a map attached, for your convenience.
 
Vehicles will be able to arrive anytime from 09.30am until 10.30am. There will be lots of people, pedestrians and cars on Sunday morning, so we would ask that you please take extra care when arriving on site.
 
We hope that you can join us for this special event, and of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please do feel free to get in touch.
 
Kind regards,

Hello DOC members in Ireland, 

This is Mike, a non-owning member/enthusiast from Scotland. I was bikepacking from Derry/Londonderry to Portnoo, Donegal yesterday to meet up with family (headwinds all the way!) and as I was coming into Letterkenny was suddenly surrounded by a glorious flock of DeLoreans. It was honestly a fantastic moment as I’d never seen a D out of the blue like that and to see so many at once... 

Anyway, I just wanted to say I was the lunatic with the bright orange backpack punching the air like a madman and waving. Thanks for waving back 

Will the members be in Donegal for a few days or was it just a day trip? I now have the use of a car and would love to say hello if it was possible. 

All the best and thanks for making my day yesterday, 

Mike (member 1000...something - don’t have my card with me)

Following on from how successful last years day was, we thought we would like to re-run the day this year and possibly turn it in to an annual event.

I think the August Bank Holiday worked for us and am proposing the 29th August again.

Could we call on your help again to make it another day to remember please.

Best regards,
Jason

Dear Chris,
 
This is Tom Sullivan.
I am the manager of Red Baboon Studios, an all-new automotive photography and videography facility near Banbury.
 
We are currently in the process of developing more promotional material for our studio.
I am messaging as we would love to shoot a DeLorean at some point in the future.
 
Here is a look at our new website.
It is currently in development and only works on computer browser at present (mobile site coming soon)...
https://redbaboonstudios.com/Dev%20V2.0b/
 
The shoot would be completely free, and both us and you would have free use of any images/video captured.
We also have an on-site valet who could assist with cleaning the car.
 
If you or any member of the DeLorean owners club would be interested, please let me know.
 
All the best,
Tom

Hello,
I've finally found the time to put Frenchy back on the road after a 4 yr hibernation in a carcoon.

She started fine and ticked over lovely about two months ago, but recently I needed to replace the fuel pump that stopped turning.
Heard it priming, but then the engine would only run for about 10 seconds.
Occasionally turning key to start caused a "click" (some relay?) and complete power failure, which recovered after some deep breathing downtime!

Frenchy hasn't moved yet, and more recently, even after 2 new accessory and an RPM/fuel relays, the instrument cluster now has no power, and the fuel pump now can't be heard to
prime, so the engine just happily cranks away with no firing!

No fuses blown, incl no.10! Weird...

Any troubleshooting thoughts to point me in the right direction would be sooo helpful please?

(my intention is just to able to drive her out of her carcoon, flatbed her to Chris in Canvey Island for a well deserved thorough going over after her rest!)

Thanks all,
Mat
