Just spoke to the new owner, who seems very happy with his new purchase.
A couple more photo's of it when Dave Rogers owned it and before Mark B fettled it up.
Its still a rare car, being one of only 3 Grey Int. RHD Manuals. (excluding later conversions).

When I saw the car ~3 weeks ago, there were quite a few niggly little problems with the car, but hopefully the new owner won't have too much heartache getting them resolved. Mostly electrical problems to be fair, gauges etc.

Do you know if the new owner is based in Scotland? I'm sure they'll make themselves known if they want to take part in the club, but I can't help but be curious about other owners in the area... especially if we can all get together for a drive in July when Doives' car is back on the road (and again in August when Chris/Lex are back in the area!).

This sounds like a plan. Would be really good to have an active regional group

A friend of mine has been looking for a RHD for a while so when I saw this one come up I told him, less than 10 minutes later he'd bought it. It will be garaged in Basildon, Essex.

Well there's definitely another one on Mersea Island, there is one in Braintree, certainly used to be one in Witham, a few in Southend, Canvey Island and Hornchurch, so there are quite a few in Essex.
Common as muck these cars now lol.

I think the BTTF showings and DeLorean car gatherings are happening again soon in Basildon.

I fell asleep during the last one and stayed overnight at a local hotel. :oops:
I set off back to Derby about 5am……..i'll never forget the glorious drive home in my BTTF car, which was then fitted with the EXTREMELY loud exhaust system! :twisted:
All the waves from the lorry drivers and commuters………brilliant!
