VIN #16369 - timtheanimator - 17 May 2021
Long time fan, new owner! Only took me 10 years...
Manual, grey interior originally imported into the UK in 2002 and after a brief stint in Belgium it's now back in the UK and living with me.
Car is in relatively good condition, runs well with 25,000 miles on the clock.
Few cosmetic internal things to replace (door-strap etc) and a new set of fuel lines to go on to start with...

One less in Belgium ... but congratulations with your purchase !
Short question: is that the "old" registrationnumber you're using again? In Belgium, we can't do that ...

Niiiice! Unusual on a B plate too.
Whereabouts in the country are you fella?
RE: VIN #16369 - Chris P - 18 May 2021
We did have another imported Delorean issued with B prefix......I encouraged the owner to buy B12 DMC....off the Government...must be 20 years ago now.
The last time I saw that car, it was half way through a slightly dodgy restoration at a garage in Nottingham.

RE: VIN #16369 - Guinney1971 - 24 May 2021
Looks a very nice car, but unusual to have on a 1984/85 registration when its a 81-82 car. Normally you can't make a car
look newer then it really is.
Having said that, I remember a Mk1 Consul Cortina (c1962/63) on a 1974 registration when I was a kid, and my old 1968
Sunbeam Rapier was given a 1981 X plate when it was registered with DVLA after being imported from Jersey in that year.
That eventually had an 'age related' number issued by DVLA. A friend of mine is also running a late 1960's Renault 10 on a
W plate as it was imported from (the then) Rhodesia in 1981.
