How many DeLoreans in the UK?

[marty]

This might have been asked before, does anyone know how many DeLoreans are in the UK currently?

[Chris Williams]

Around the 300 mark, but it's not exact!

About 30 to 40 more than last year lol

Yep, SO many come back over the last 18 months (a lot by dealers to flip) like buses these things now

Yes but how many 'Free-Range' ones have you ever seen on the road?    (not when we are near an event of course) 

in my case just 2…in 30 years!

I can beat that, probably about 10 in fifteen years, but I do around 35k miles a year in my area.

Yes well Chris, 

you come from the 'affluent South'…….Us oykes 'up Norf'  are not so lucky…..…but as I only drive about 12K a year, not so different perhaps.

Funny thing is.... A work colleague and I saw one parked up with a for sale notice on it on a street St Albans in 1989. I couldnt afford it but my colleague admitted that his father was Delorean's consultant metallurgist. It was 25 years later I next saw a DMC on the road - in fact on the A3 at Godalming. And bizarrely enough it was only about a week after I bought mine. I'm looking forward to being out on the road in Delores and doing the "AA wave" to a fellow owner driving in the opposite direction.....hopefully within the next 25 years!

I'd never even seen a Delorean in real life until after I'd bought mine.
I think there is only me and Tom in the whole SouthWest (from Bristol down) Is that right?
Must the scarcest Delorean area in England, No?

Thanks for the reply, I always forget how to ask a thread to email me when someone has replied, hence my late arrival!

I wonder how many are MOT'd?

I attach a nice pic of the car in the rain taken by a pro photographer, it was used for a wedding that day.

Cheers all.

Pfff, far more DeLoreans near and around you than around where I am that's for sure. And as for affluent that applies to everyone but me I assure you

I am based in North Somerset.  I have never seen another on the road to date, apart from mine.  I have no idea what one looks like moving in real life, it's quite annoying actually.

I've got two in Bristol, there's one in Corsham, Martin G has usually got a couple nearby as well so a few more to add to list of South West cars! ?

Yeah, I knew there were a few in Bristol area. We should do a Great Western meet/drive/pub.
But, I really meant SouthWest of there. Is it only me and Tom?

BTW, What happened to you today Ollie? Did you get message?
