1004 says hello

Lovely condition - recent refurbished wheels? (no black cap that I can see).

Hi Dan

I dont know if they have been refurbished.

But they do look more dark grey then other deloreans they are
more silver grey.

Is this depending on the production year??

[Dan Willis]

It's the caps that make me think they were - early cars had dark grey wheels; later, silver. There is a split with regards to VIN (someone will chime in, I'm not sure). Usually though, as I've had a few sets of wheels refurbed, the caps can be done too - might not be the case here and it matters not. The car is very nice!

These things can get swapped around over the years.

Imagine if a dealer, 20 years ago had a couple of cars in and one had a set of scruffy wheels or dodgy tyres…he'd just swap them…light grey / dark grey…what the heck and its anybodies guess which caps he'd stick on.

In the UK I've known several folk who had had the wheels refurbished in a different colour simply because they preferred them….or it was cheaper!

It still looks a decent car…..no matter what wheel colour it has

[Dan Willis]

Kinda my point

Congratulations on living the Dream!

Looks a very nice car, my doors went up that high too on 6237 (Previous owner put on extra long struts) but the T Panel was marking the doors so I put new 'regular' struts on soon after buying it.

As stated by Chris P and the shipping manifest posted by Dermot, your car was on the first shipment that left Belfast on Easter Sunday 1981... An Historic Day!
