DeLorean DMC-12

I took this photograph at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018.

It's a DeLorean DMC-12 modified to resemble the car used in the 'Back to the Future' film series. The DeLorean was not a great success and production only lasted for about two years before the company was placed into receivership in February 1982.

Delorean

I had just left the house one day last week to go and do some shopping when I saw this car pulling away from a house just up the road.

It's a Delorean DMC-12 from the early 1980s and the first one that I've actually seen. The Delorean has an interesting history and is, of course, famous for its appearance (and disappearance!) in the 'Back to the Future' film series. Come to think of it, it might not have been last week I saw it, it might be next week.
