Saw this DeLorean yesterday on Comiston Road in Edinburgh.

Anyone seen it around?

Drive past cameraphone shooting so not the best

Hmmmmm wheezy Renault V6

Cool looking, but supposedly an uninspiring drive (all the way up to 88mph.....)

it just doesn't look the same without the time travel tubing and flashing lights

IMO every Delorean should be a back to the future replica.

Saw one parked in Dundee a couple of years ago and a few months after that passed it on a back road. Photos don't do them justice, they look soo cool on the road, very low and very Esprit like.

BTW, it wasn't that one cos I also took a photo of it

Yup - but ours are mental fun to drive despite the engine's parentage. Concensus has it that these were underpowered, over weight and didn't really have a lot of feel. Shame, as it's basically an Esprit chassis, chopped for the V6.

That stainless body and overweight door gubbins appeared to kill the Esprit magic. It really is a shame, as I feel they are one of the best looking cars of all time (despite the Back to the Future baggage)
