In 1973, John DeLorean was most likely going to be the next president of General Motors, when he turned his back on his $650,000 a year job and focused on a grander dream… to build his own car company (the first new American car company since 1925). In 1978, DeLorean built the most advanced auto factory in the world in under 18 months, from the ground up in a small suburb of Belfast, Ireland. When British Television (ATV) asked us to make a film about John DeLorean, our great automotive adventure began, an adventure that took us to the auto show in Geneva, where DeLorean and his wife showed his new car for the first time to the excited world of car buffs; to car designer Giugiaro’s huge studio-factory in Italy where full-size wooden replicas of Lotuses, Ferraris and DeLoreans were locked away in secret vaults; and to DeLorean’s Belfast assembly plant which was financed by the British government in an attempt to ease tensions between Protestants and Catholics by bringing them together in a working environment. Here workers from both sides built the car that became the legend of the movie “Back to the Future.” When you see how close it all came to working you wonder how it could go so wrong…

This car is so charismatic, i love it.
I remember seeing it for the first time in back to the future, and then in person in Williamsburgh, Virginia which is an image ingraved in my mind forever, all steel no paint, its amazing. Not Having a license and watching Marty McFly burn rubber and go through time, damn this car gave me wet dreams loll, you all know what i mean, if B2tF caught your attention back in the day. It was my favorite movie as a kid lol, but hell, i loved it then i still love it now :wink: this car marked itself in its own special way.
There are tons of em that went to scrap, and guess what! bodies are great! its stainless :stuck_out_tongue:
