I’m thinking about selling my ‘Back to the Future Time Machine’ replica, Mr Fusion model. It’s been a really busy and enjoyable three years since I bought the car and I have been all over the place with it and been able to do some great events! Recently I lost my mum and it makes you reassess your priorities and I just don’t have the same desire to the long days driving round the country to the events and the car is too good to just be sat in a garage.
I wanted to post this on the forums before putting the car up for sale through the mainstream channels to see if any other DeLorean/BTTF fans were interested first.
The car has been used for publicity by a lot of high profile companies for promo and TV such as Microsoft, Pepsi/Uber, BBC, ITV, Sky, Coronation Street, Secret Cinema, Halfords, GiffGaff, Deloitte, Speedy Hire, Manchester Airport, Teenage Cancer Trust and lots more.
The car was built by Bruce Coloumbe in the states, who builds these cars for a living and is an ex- NASA electrical engineer. The build quality is impeccable and meticulous with every prop individually fused and full wiring diagrams and schematics included. The car was then sold to my friend Luke Brynycz based near Bradford who then sold it to me in 2014. The car itself spent most of it’s life in the dry state of Texas before being shipped to Florida for conversion before being used for some promotional work at Universal Orlando (at the Hard Rock Café). The car had a rebuilt engine in 2011 before it’s conversion and the chassis (as you would expect of a Texas car) has no rust at all. Since I have had the car it has needed little work in terms of upgrades to the ‘BTTF props’ but we did replace the flux band lights from an LED tape to a 360 degree neon flex which gives a more solid and brighter light. Everything works on the car as it does in the movies, you can input dates into the time circuits, if you hit 88mph (or kph) time travel mode will activate, the doors and Mr Fusion make the correct noises when opened, there is a fog machine hooked up to the rear vents and numerous sound clips are played via internal and external speakers and everything can be activated via remote control. The car also comes with hoverwheels to give the effect of it flying whilst in static display which I believe is the only one in Europe with this.
It has just passed it’s MOT so is good to go until mid May 2018 and any jobs are parts that have needed doing have been done. The car is running and driving lovely. I am looking for £65k and I am happy to chat over any further details or questions that anyone might either over the phone on 07828790512 or email ojwinventories@gmail.com. I'm still keeping my stock DeLorean as I could never be without one!
I would be very grateful if you could circulate the following to members and friends...We are looking for entrants/exhibitors to bring along all types of cars and vehicles to our event on 16th July.There is also the opportunity to have a grand clear out and have an auto jumble stall!

Opie Oils are pleased to announce that we are now stocking a considerable range of Amsoil Synthetic Oil products. Whether you're looking to service your daily driver with a top quality lubricant, or taking your modified vehicle on track, and need something to offer extremely high levels of protection, then there is an Amsoil product for you!
For those of you that are new to Amsoil products, they are a brand with a rich history in motorsports, and a huge name over in the States. Sponsoring massive American events such as the Grand National Cross Country, the official oil in the AMA Supercross Championship and sponsor for the International Hot Rod Association, you can see why they're trusted time and time again by motoring enthusiasts accross the world.
Amsoil was founded by Albert J. Amatuzio, a former jet fighter pilot who had conducted research on synthetic engine oils in the early 1960s. After several years of in depth study, Amsoil then formulated synthetic oils for other applications, including specialised vehicles and severe operating conditions. The breakthrough came in 1972, when they developed the worlds first fully synthetic motor oil to meet API service requirements - you can now see why they are so popular in the world of race, rally and track driving, as they were designed from the ground up to offer outstanding levels of protection, even under the harshest conditions.
Opies have an array of quality Amsoil products on the shelf and ready to go, and don't forget that you can get 10% off everything with your forum discount code! To make you aware, we are due to receive another shipment shortly that will have even more brand new products. As soon as this is with us, we will give you guys an update. Have a look below for these new products, where you will find prices, the specifications they meet and everything else you need to know:
Simply click HERE to find everything that we stock from Amsoil so far. Amsoil products are typically very difficult to get hold of due to the fact that they are imported from the States. However, Opies will be stocking everything that we can get our hands on, so just let us know if there's anything specific that you need that isn't listed.
Every single Amsoil product is designed to offer peak performance and the highest levels of protection, allowing you to put your vehicle through its paces, while having peace of mind that your engine has a product in it that is up to the task. We'll take Amsoils Signature Series engine oils as an example of what to expect:
- 75% more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear than required by a leading industry standard
- Significantly extends the life of vital components such as pistons and cams
- 93% better piston deposit score than the leading industry standard
- Oil thickening limited to 82% below the leading industry standard
All of these results are based on independent testing of the Amsoil Signature Series 5w-30.
This range of Amsoil products is due to increase as time goes by, so we'll be sure to keep you guys in the loop as more products are added. You can keep an eye on our current offers page HERE, where you will find up to date discounts, deals and clearance products.
That's it from us today, but as always if you require any oil advice then feel free to ask. You can call us on 01209 202944 Monday - Friday 8.30am - 5.30pm, send us an email to sales@opieoils.co.uk or just ask us here and we will be happy to help.
