Funny that, i was gonna say that mike :lol: that sounds like a good car me thinks :lol: - dmckelv12 - 02 Aug 2007 If DMCH pull this off, does that mean that there is gonna be an 07 plate DeLorean roaming the streets????? Also will they carry the vin number on from the gold car???? - bozzzydmc - 03 Aug 2007 I baggsie ' MY07 DMC' Then !!! ![]() any others ???..... - Tourettes Tony - 03 Aug 2007 iv got one mike,, ON TOW :lol: :lol: TT - TheOriginalMrP - 04 Aug 2007 Is making more of them really a good thing? As an owner, i like to think of it as a car thats becoming more rare, and i like it for that reason. Making more would make them less desirable for the collectors in my opinion, and probably de-value the present vin's. I may be wrong, it may go the other way, who knows? I'm sorry, but somebody's got to say it. If ever there is word of a total manufacture, (not re-manufacture, because thats not the same - restoration or re-manufacture isn't threatening the rareness as its keeping the original vin's instead.), the car won't be of the same value to me any more. What happened to DMC is historical, and it should stay that way. Would any of you bring back Maggie Thatcher, John Major etc all these years later? By all means, buy a re-manufactured De-Lorean, keep making the parts, or even re-manufacture the parts, but dont kill our "ownership" by producing more..... Who agree's, and who disagree's? Personally, I think non-owners would push this more than the owners, as it will make them more obtainable, possibly cheaper in the long run for them. Again, I may be wrong....

Completely agree mate! - Chris P - 05 Aug 2007 There is a nice 2 page spread in the Sunday Express today, same story about DMCH possibly making some more. Its a pity the club website didn't get a plug though. Chris P - delorean12uk - 05 Aug 2007 I've got to agree with Ben, I personnally think it's wrong if they try to re-manufacture the Delorean, it would make the originals less desirable as a collectable. As I understand it DMCH have been sitting on a lot of parts for a lot of years, and I'm not trying to imply they have expoited owners with the price of parts, but if they are not moving those parts then maybe bussiness isn't as good as it should be. So I have read from the media, that their is massive demand for Delorean's so their going to reproduce it, and I don't believe that at all, thats been said to save face. If your sitting on stock you can move, then put the parts together to make a car and move the stock like that. Thats my opinion and I might be completely wrong. - MikeH - 05 Aug 2007 i agree, there cannot be such a massive demand as i still see loads of deloreans on ebay. Well im sticking to an oldy D, dont want some cheap remake ![]() - Barson - 05 Aug 2007 Hey Mike didn't you say you preferred later deloreans to early ones? now's your opportunity to get a brand new spanking one :p ) - MikeH - 05 Aug 2007 err not that much later ![]() - Tourettes Tony - 05 Aug 2007 yeah i have to agree with mr monk on what he says there, but i think that parts in the states are an absolute rip off even before you add on the duty. When i restored my car i didnt need to get many parts from there, so i sourced them from this country, which as we all know most of the parts come from. When i thought my gearshift linkage had gone it was priced at $400+ shipping, how can you justify that ![]() And also how much are the new old stock cars going to be $40-$60k i reckon, give me an old one warts an all anyday.
