Steering and suspension is all very good. The stainless is straight without blemishes and the graining is good. The interior is in good condition with no cracks.

Car was regularly driven and maintained. At the end of last year, DeLorean specialist Dave Bauerle went through every detail to ensure car is in perfect condition. Service and inspection record comes with the sale.
History:
This car has made 3 transatlantic voyages. First when it was shipped from Northern Ireland to the US and then back and forth to Belgium by its second owner. This DeLorean was purchased by its current owner in the summer of 1990 and then immediately shipped to Belgium where it was registered and enjoyed until 2008. To enable registration in Belgium, the DeLorean received front and rear fog lights, and its side markers were blacked out. Thesemodificationsare part of this car's history but can easily be reversed by the new owner. In 2008, the owner shipped the car back to the United States, registered and continued to enjoy it.
Extras:
The DeLorean comes with 2 original keys, manual, shop manuals, original sticker price, DeLorean magazines, paperwork, transportation bills, Belgian registration papers, etc.
