De Lorian spotted

shadowfax · 5th August 2012, 22:57

Went to the boatyard yesterday to do a few jobs on the boat, as I was finishing and just getting ready to go, a Delorian came an parked right next to me - and I have to say it looked and sounded superb, (I presume he must have spent a bit on it then!)

There is one at the motor museum where the next National is going to be held

I've only ever seen one out in the wild. Drove past me one day about 4 years ago. Being a fan of the Back to the Future films I was quite chuffed to see one out and about.

It's the 1st one I've ever seen "in the flesh"

Don't know if it's still there, but there was one at Sparkford (Haynes Museum) ---- The old wheeler dealers did one up too --- lovely looking car, but that brushed finish would be a pain to keep nice (no filler or touch ups allowed !!! ).

Such a shame that they went the way they did

1987 Fort Pierce, Florida. Just up the road from where my in-laws used to live. Belonged to a bit of an outlaw (allegedly) so I was careful to ask permission before photographing it.
