While I know this won't mean jack to a lot of people, I myself had a lot of respect for the man purely because I love the DMC DeLorean. It was, in my opinion, a beautiful car.

R.I.P.


Reeeellllllly badly built though. The first shipment to the US had to be completely dismantled when they arrived and then rebuilt properly before they were sent to the showrooms.

Damn pretty thing though... course it would be being as it was basically a Lotus Esprit!

The guy used drug money to fund his car building, and did it in my shithole of a country. I'm glad he is dead.

Also embezzled shit-loads from the Government. There is an excellent docu on the whole affair shown on BBC4 every now and again. Well worth a watch - he was either a complete nutter one one seriously devious bloke (but probably a bit of both).

YOu can buy Delorans state side from this company that refurbishes them like new for around 25,000.

I can't seem to find the site. So, maybe that makes me a fruad.

I like the DeLoran because it has that nice boxy look with the kick ass pop up lights.

edit:

ha I totally lied!

You can get a refurbished one for 37,500 usd

Refurbished

OH YEAH!
