These are one of my favourite cars, have owned 3 all together. when i got into Deloreans, i could not believe how close they are in looks, the front nosecone, and the flying buttresses down the back, all very similar in design,
Was always a puzzle to note that Pinninfarina did the Monte in the early 70s, Guiguaro did the de in the mid 70s did he copy a few design features? maybe, but either way thet are both very attractive cars.
Prob is with montes, they would have lasted much better if they were built out of stainless. I restored 2 of my 3, i they seriously rot, and in the strangest of places.
Nick.
PS. anyone ever had a toyota sera, i have had 3 of them as well, very interesting car as a daily runner, if you are into Deloreans.

We've got 2 Phase III Sera's here at the moment, a turquoise blue 1993 (vin #16075), and the remains of a 1994 car, vin #16501, which was bought for spares as it had been written off in an accident. #16501 is one of the last Phase III cars in the UK, there are only 2 or 3 higher vins known to the Sera club.

The blue one is quite rare as it has a manual gearbox, and it is also fitted with the 'super live surround sound' stereo too.


This is the black one - we were lifting the bodyshell up to remove the engine and gearbox - it cant come through the top because of the mounting points and battery tray.



And this is the turquoise one - apparantly a very rare colour!
