Does he just keep them locked away or does he rent to movie producers as props?

No there in lockups, he does go the Victory show and local events though, Him and his mate own all of these and more.

My nieces husband has got a few interesting cars but this is my favourite he had it imported from the states cost him a few quid but it’s more than doubled in value but he said if he spends out for the flux capacitor kit it sends it into silly money a good investment considering what he paid for it.

Edited to say it’s aluminium and he polishes it with WD40

I was at an auction many moons ago, and they were selling off loads of old military stuff, motorbikes were coming through in lots of 10 and selling for a couple of hundred quid and those big wreckers were fetching under £500 a piece, the only reason I never bought one was the 6 mtg petrol engine it had

The old can ams and Mt`s are nearing a couple of grand a piece now for a good one

Is it a replica ? The origionals were stainless steel, weren't they ?

Cheers.

It is an original probably my mistake saying it’s aluminium because it’s metal the topic came up on how do you keep it clean hence the WD40 answer, he belongs to the UK Delorean club and has had quite a few offers on it but he’s a clever lad and he’s keeping hold of it.

Sold this January 2014 for I think 4,500, watching bangers and cash last night they sold one that was hit about and quite a big project for 26,500.bloody crazy money really.

Thats not a proper RS though mate is it ?.....looks like a standard Mk2 with the wings cut back to accommodate a nosecone ?

I owned this one back years ago and have tried to buy it back but the current owner aint short of a few bob and dont want to sell it .....nice standard original example.
