Had my first ever ride in a DMC today -maybe I'll have my own by my 50th...…

Thanks Tris - the car is absolutely great :-)

I have to recover the compressed cardboard headlining panels. Mine is a grey and black interior as fitted to all the middle east cars.

I know that DeLoreanGo sell a kit - but has anybody recently bought material that is a close match from any other vendors?

If so from where? and was it foam backed or was the material and foam separate?

Cheers

Hi guys, 
I've Been thinking lately about doing a carb conversion for my car, 
Probably a Holley 390 cfm. 
Is this something someone has done? 
And what are your thoughts on this please.

Hi there,
 
I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch. I am looking for a Dolorean to use in a Strictly Come Dancing shoot next week and thought you’d be a good person to contact.
 
I don’t suppose you have, or know of anybody that has, one of these vehicles that we could use? We would be looking to use it on Tuesday or Wednesday (2nd or 3rd October).
 
Give me a call or, of course, drop me an email if you have any questions.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Scott Jenkins

Hi everyone just had two limited edition pin badges arrive from the bttf website and they came with two extras such as a replica of martys receipt from 2015 and a photo of Claudia wells infront of her store in the USA.
Cant post photo as its too large if anyone can reduce size let me know so everyone can see it

I'm trying to locate a VW Campervan, blue and white with registration GAP 893L, I found on the DVLA site is was last taxed in March this year, is there any way I can find where or who this vehicle belongs to and where it is? Thanks for any help.

Pleased to say issue 81 of DeLorean news is being mailed out in the morning. However we are running out of articles so please if you can put pen-to-paper and let me have any articles, large or small on what you have done either to or with your car then I would love to read them. As would others!

Hi all - there's a decent article and video on Jalopnik for their Build of the Week. A custom DeLorean with 2 extra seats.

Makes me think of the setup in a Porsche. Nice that he used a related engine.

It was on the BBC news this morning, and having looked, there is even a BTTF DeLorean in there:
