Back to the future at Beaulieu

DeloreanA faithful recreation of the car that starred in the Hollywood blockbuster, Back to the Future.

Amid a glare of media interest, the first De Lorean cars left the Northern Ireland factory in December 1980. Sales in America were disappointingly low and the company collapsed.

The car consisted of a backbone chassis, stainless steel and plastic bodywork, gullwing doors and a V-6 engine in the rear. There was a choice of five-speed manual or three-speed automatic gearbox. The car featured many electrically operated fittings.
