DeLorean DMC-12

This 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 is a five-speed manual car, the less common choice against the automatic, with the grey interior and the unpainted stainless-steel body that defines the model. Its chassis number, 7174, sits close to the end of the 1981 model-year VIN run of 7199, so it was built late in that year's output at the Dunmurry factory.

It has covered 17,808 miles. An archived US sales advertisement for the same chassis recorded 4,998 miles earlier in its life, and mentioned recommissioning in 2012 with specialist involvement from PJ Grady in New York. The car has been with its current UK owner since 2018, and is said to have been kept indoors over winter and not driven on salted roads.

Recent work listed includes a full engine service and tune, stainless-steel coolant header and expansion tanks, upgraded ventilated front discs, rebuilt calipers with stainless pistons, new pads, UK-specification Hella headlamps and a serviced air-conditioning system. It is registered as a Historic Vehicle and so is MOT exempt. A V5 and a history file of invoices and service records are available.
