The story of John Delorean's ill fated gull winged car built in Belfast in the early 1980's



I'm sure Back to the Future will get a mention, but I'll be watching because I went over to Belfast when the factory closed with two mates to buy one
I bottled it after looking at all the half finished cars, but my mate bought a complete one for £1,700 and sold it two years later for £4K, a good one is now worth £25k

I bottled it




I bet you wish you'd brought two, now.

Indeedy - I wish I bought and kept one

There were hundreds of them and most had some parts missing, the one my Mate bought had a rear light missing and a door lock didn't latch.
The bloke in the Portacabin said just walk throught the factory and pick up the missing bits, it was like a grave yard.
But I was part of the history even if it was for a only a few hours on a damp cold Monday morning
