Thank you for expressing interest in Delorean! Quote:

That kind of money can buy you a 'Vette, a Porsche, a used Ferrari...
Again, some things are best left in the past. |
For me, the only reason the Delorean should come back is because it looked like nothing ever produced before. Even now, 30 years later, except the Mercedes C111 concept, I haven't found a car which looks like the DMC 12. Quote:

I had that issue in my archives, never paid much attention to it. Yesterday was cleaning up my auto mag collection. That issue resurfaced, and I happened to read the article with interest.
In the evening, went to the Delorean site. The stock car in LHD, Auto transmission form costs USD 57K. But there was a full customization option. You could choose RHD, Manual transmission, upgraded ICE and a whole list of modern toys.
When I finished, my total bill came to USD76K, or about 35 lakh rupees. Obviously I was just assing around . I left the site and forgot about it.
Next morning, I was surprised to find a mail from their VP sales. It contained a letter saying thank you for expressing interest in the Delorean. It also contained a full brochure of the car, and a list of pre-owned Deloreans that I could be interested to look at.
I'm attaching all 3 documents for the members' interest. Delorean ebrochure.pdf deloreansforsale-09-15-10.pdf letter.pdf |
