The day has finally come! To be honest I thought it would've taken me way longer but after just 3/4 month of really, actively looking to buy...I am the owner of Delorean VIN 3010, grey interior, 5-speed manual with gas flap hood.
Like other people here, I've been a BTTF fan since I was like 10, have collected every possible material item and replica from the trilogy, have an entire sleeve tattoo about it (with 2 Deloreans in it) and I’ve also done the filming location tour in Los Angeles twice.
I was about time I got the last (and best) thing of them all, an actual Delorean car
Since I decided to buy a car and started looking online and on the forums, my passion went beyond the movie and I came to actually really love and appreciate the car as “just a really cool classic car” instead of just as a movie character.
I was about to buy a huge project/restoration car a few weeks ago when the opportunity came flying at my door from California for this car which is in pretty good condition (compared to the other one) and is a runner.
I finalized the sale yesterday and the car will probably ship sometime next week.
Not sure how much actually needs to be done there but I’m looking forward to it arriving in Southampton!
Looking forward to connecting with the other owners now that I’m “one of you” and be at car meetings around the UK and Europe
Here are all the images I have so far: https://imgur.com/a/qr7xjDo
