DruidicCurse 0 Posted August 11, 2003 nice try but no cigar. maybe a different color would help. now maybe if they said it had a 5.0L turbo that might make it a little sexier :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 11, 2003 The front end reminds me of a Delorian... But then, I have been drinking tonight! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted August 11, 2003 You could get a brand new Delorean shipped from the US for about £30k. I enquired about it last week on the Delorean website. No RHD but it is pretty much custom spec from new or nearly new parts. I was gonna mention a delorean Henny so don't blame the drink. On that note I'll go get myself a beer. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bournemouth James 0 Posted August 12, 2003 Did you know the same person designed the scirocco and the delorean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 12, 2003 You can tell there are many shared design elements that have somehow been passed along James.. I always loved the back of the Corrado because it reminded me so much of the DeLorean :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggrim 0 Posted August 12, 2003 That Delorean is in the American express bank. One of three gold plated ones ever to be made. The other one is in the Delorean museum and a Sheik from Saudi bought the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KARMANN 0 Posted August 17, 2003 there are plenty of similarities between the delorian and the corrado.delorian was a 2.8 v6 built for american market,corrado built for american market is 2.8 vr6.the delorian looks like the corrados predisesor (dont kno how to spell that). they WERE NOT designed by the same person the delorian was designed by John Z Delorian.who raised the funds to produce the car in Dunmurry in N ireland.he was american and previously worked for GM.the company went bust as investors didnt provide enough capital to keep the company afloat and Mr Delorian arranged a cocaine deal worth $24million to help with the cars production.he got busted as it was video taped and spent the next two yrs explaining his case he got freed as he was apparently a victim of entrapment.his career went down the drain and so did DMC.although he was f**k* minted anyway!and there was two gold plated models built then a further two were built but not buy delorian.i believe only one of the origonals is still intact.anyway im away to play fives now.
