Today we visit Northern Ireland and take a look at De Lorean, one of possibly three cars ever built that look better with the doors open. And possibly eyes shut.
John De Lorean set the bar low with one single product that was, well, appalling is an appropriate word. Poor design, high price tag coupled with catastrophic build quality and less than inspiring performance; 0-60 in well over ten seconds.
So how did it become cool? Simple; Back to the Future. Did as much for this brand as James Bond did for Aston Martin.
Production eventually came to an end when the founder was mixed up in wholesale drug dealing. All at the expense of the British taxpayer, as well as massive damage to the local economy.
This is a tantalising shot of a prototype built by the current owners of De Lorean, if they build this it could be very exciting...
And a customised version if the original showing what it could have been first time round.....
It's hard to believe that the the man responsible for designing the two beauties below was also responsible for the De Lorean....
