Only 17 original cars were ever produced in RHD format and most were  converted by an outside company. Existing examples are rare and retail for nearly twice the amount of a regular DeLorean at roughly $60,000.

Rather than attempting to track down one of these rare examples, a customer approached the Houston-based DeLorean Motor Company to build his own RHD version.DMC is the biggest restorer of these stainless steel cars in the world and has approximately 150 years worth of factory-created parts. They also are making a limited number of Series II "new" DeLoreans out of all the parts.

Making the swap to the RHD model involved designing a new dash, cutting new carpet, modifying the controls and swapping in a new electric A/C unit. It all looks like it came from the factory in that form  









Another one for the lottery win list

meh... the one in BTTF was left hand drive so that's what i MUST have....

I've been tempted in the past but that would mean selling the Saleen to finance it...

I'll have to wait until I can save enough to buy a mint delorean, apparently they do a subframe that allows you to poke a v8 in there including the 2000 northstar!

I actually went to the factory in Belfast when it was being wound up, just over £3k bought you a nearly completed car. Most had some trim panels missing or the odd switch. One of the guy's I went with bought one ( can't remember his name it's a long time ago ) He ran it for 3 years and sold it for £5k

I also very nearly bought a new Isuzu piazza turbo for £4k once
The import company had gone bust after just starting to import Isuzu's and nobody knew anything about them ?  The car was fully loaded and retailed at £10.5k but I thought spare parts could be a big problem, so I walked away.
Two months later someone else bought the import rights and the rest is history

It's funny - Deloreans really don't float my boat . . . . they're O.K - just not mind blowing is all.
