DMC Delorean 3 owners, fully documented, only 16.904 miles, man 1981
General description :
A gorgeous 1981 DMC DeLorean DMC-12! John DeLorean’s lifetime project, designed by Italdesign’s Giorgetto Giugiaro, was in production in Dunmarry, Northern Ireland for only two years. The DMC DeLorean DMC-12 reached iconic status in the 1985 Bob Gale movie ‘Back to the Future’. This car was ordered from new by the Saginaw, Michigan based Sarrow Datsun Inc. at the beginning of 1981. This 3-owner car has only clocked up an authentic 16,905 miles. The American title deed is marked ‘A’ for ‘Actual Mileage’ officially confirming this low-mileage. It has become more and more difficult to find a low-mileage, manual DeLorean. From day-1 the cars’ history has been kept. The original purchase order for $ 26,175 is there as well as amongst other items; every booklet, the car wallet containing the service book and owner’s manual, loads of invoices and even the original stainless steel polishing kit! Of course, besides its international fame, the DeLorean is characterized by the brushed stainless steel body and the “Gull-Wing’ doors. The undamaged bodywork is as straight as they come. The very well-maintained interior has a wonderful patina. This car has its original, matching numbers, V6 engine and has the factory-fitted manual gearbox in contrast to most that were supplied with the optional automatic transmission. This is truly a unique vehicle with rarely found low-mileage and a gigantically extensive history. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About DMC
The story of DMC, or DeLorean Motor Company, is a tale of high hopes, futuristic visions, and ultimately, a heartbreaking tragedy that brought it all to an end.In the early 1980s, John Z. DeLorean, a former executive at General Motors, set out to create the car of the future. He founded the DeLorean Motor Company, and the iconic DMC-12, with its stainless steel body and distinctive gull-wing doors, became his vision for a revolutionary sports car.
The DMC-12 was like something out of a science fiction movie, and its striking design turned heads wherever it went. It was the sports car for the future, a dream for enthusiasts. But as we all know, dreams sometimes come crashing down.
DeLorean's vision was bold, and his ambition was even bolder. He aimed to build the cars in Northern Ireland, providing jobs and boosting the local economy. But the project faced numerous challenges, including financial troubles, production delays, and a global recession.
And then, the tragedy struck. John DeLorean was arrested on charges of drug trafficking, a scandal that would forever tarnish his name and the reputation of his company. While he was eventually acquitted, the damage had been done.
The DeLorean Motor Company struggled to recover from the blow to its image, and in 1983, it filed for bankruptcy. The DMC-12, the shining star of the company, would never reach its full potential. Production was halted, and the remaining unsold cars gathered dust in warehouses.
But here's the twist in the story: the DMC-12 found a second life in a little film called "Back to the Future." The time-traveling DeLorean, with its gull-wing doors and iconic appearance, became a pop culture legend, perhaps even more famous than the car itself.
Today, the DeLorean DMC-12 remains a symbol of unfulfilled potential, a reminder that even the most futuristic dreams can be derailed by the harsh realities of the world. The bright future that was envisioned for DMC may have never come to pass, but its place in history is secure, a testament to the enduring power of dreams and the unpredictable twists of fate.
