Hi Everyone,
I have just bought a new house and it is a real renovation project and i fear the Delorean is going to be neglected over the coming months/years. I therefore have decided to put the car on the market. I imported the car in june 2005 and have spent an absolute fortune getting it to its current standard.
It is an august 82, 54.000, black interior auto, I use the car 2-3 times a week and always keep it garaged. I imported it from minnesota and have traced its history back to 91 where the trail goes cold.
I have lots of files with all of the reciepts of my purchases, photos, etc that i would be happy to pass on to the next owner.
Looking through the bills for the last year and a half the amount of work undertaken on the car is immense...here is a sample!
Full set of Manuals (DMCH)
New wiper motor (DMCH)
Tasteful fog light modification using inner brake lights with black console switch (DMCH)
New gas struts on Doors, Hood and Engine (DMCH)
New Otterstat, seal, clip and pipe (Delorean One)
New Wiper Arms (DMCH)
New Wiper Blades (DMUK)
New Ball Joints, all replaced (DMCH)
New Hella and Halo UK Headlamps (DMUK)
New Brake Master Cylinder (DMCH)
New Anti Roll Bar bushes and hardware (DMCH)
New Handbrake Cables (DMCH)
Rebuilt Rack and Pinion including track rod ends (Delorean One)
New Thermostat and cover (DMCH)
New Cargo Net (DMCH)
New quality speakers, new automatic aerial and New Sony Stereo
New Euro Height Springs (Club)
New Circuit Breaker Upgrade (SpecialTauto)
New radiator coolant piping kit (SpecialTauto)
New Auto Trans filter and gaskets (SpecialTauto)
New Thermotime switch (SpecialTauto)
New oxygen sensor (SpecialTauto)
New injector seals (Local PRV specialist)
New warm-up regulator (DMCH)
New front discs and rebuilt calipers (PJGradyUK)
NOS Cold start Valve (Club)
ECU repair (Bosch specialist)
New Speedo cable (PJ Grady)
New Angle Drive & Cap (PJgrady)
NOS Idle speed regulator (Club)
New interior lights (PJ Grady)
Reheostat repair kit (DMCH)
NEW LED Kit for doors and centre console (DMCH)
New window switches (DMCH)
New horns (DMCH)
Cat Bypass (DMCLTD)
New exhaust heatshield (specialTauto)
New Windscreen (Insurance Job)
The car also had the following work done at PJ GRADY UK.
New Door seals
New lower control arm bushes
Numerous stainless repairs
Full regrain
Tub Repair
Fuel system refit
New HT Leads
(and much more)
I also have some bits I have not yet fitted
L & R Headlamp Housing (DMCH)
Like New original Seat Covers (Club)
New stainless brake pipes (DMUK)
So basically all the difficult jobs have been done...The car is a good runner, 10 months MOT, 4 months TAX but it does have a few bits and bobs to keep its new owner occupied on a sunday afternoon e.g non functioning A/C to figure out and if i was keeping it my next job would be some panel alignments and some other cosmetic tit bits.
So i am asking a realistic £11500 ONO.
The car is situated in Exeter, Devon.
Thanks for reading
