::SOLD VIA PISTONHEADS:: for £3.5k apparently

I bought a set of these at the weekend for £50. Named them Mohammed, and sold them yesterday for £100. Does this mean I made a prophet from the wheels? :roll:

do you not mean keswick as i live in kendal and there aint no museum with those cars in unless doc brown and marty somehow changed the present when they went to the past.............. :lol: Sorry JC, me's a daftie, Keswick it is.

I drove 'Back 2 it', one of the cars used in Back to the future 2, when I worked at the Grampian Transport Museum as a young lad. Must have been 17-18, since I remember going round their track quicker in my first car, and MG Metro :) I think this car's in the museum in Kendal along side the batmobile, Del boys reliant etc. Anyway this Delorean was automatic, which didn't help things, and I don't think the flux capacitor was working properly. The body was actually plastic, the stainless steel was just a thin skin that was bonded on, but combined with the chassis wasn't exactly lightweight. They build quality wasn't the best, we had one on display in the museum which had been sprayed red after the stainless steel got tarnished. The drivers door was propped open with a carefully placed 6inch nail, as the struts were broken. The real reason however that they failed was the price of petrol shot up in the States, which was their main market, and they just sat in the showrooms. Mike.

Is there a typo in the first word of the thread title :wink:

:oops: yes, some hasty labelling there! max something is the guy that started it and his jag was done out in the same adidas stripes but i hadn't realised that so were 80% of the other cars! changed! Cheers mate, at least you got the point of my post :roll:

Good pics, but can I just ask, who's Max, and why does his XJ220 look like a Lambo with addidas stripes? :)

Here's one on ebay just now with stealths:

somebody mention snow? :D My old rado was for sale on ebay last week, so I had a rake through some old photos and found this one: I miss that car all over again. :roll:

- eh? Is the question you've answered not "what are these seats from?" ? Anybody know what a pedantic smiley looks like btw? :oops: Sorry, it's been a long week, and I should be giving it ZZZZZZZs by now.

You can see where he's headed... from this: few cans of paint...... to this... SD1 replicas, whatever next. 8)

here's one: ebay clicky very good condition for it's age 8) and here's another one, crikey... clicky 2

BTJ, get a 2nd hand bumper, get it sorted, and get it back from these cowboys so you can enjoy it again. I know what you're saying about a new bumper, but from what I've seen of your car you've built it to drive, it's not a pampered concours motor. Happy birthday when it comes btw. Mike.

reminds me of one of these: but then I'm getting on a bit :oops:

glad to hear you're ok, and not leaving the island with a hardwood overcoat 8) I've a mate who's just back from the TT, and he tells many a tale of them going out half cut in years gone by. Think he's got more sense now. That bruise (ouch), are you sure it's not a tattoo of Elton John you've had removed? Mike.

BTJ, sorry to hear about this. I saw your car parked up at the Volkscentre a few months back. Went over for a nosey - be rude not to. :wink: Anyway, hope you get everything sorted to your liking. Mike.
