See www.delorean-hire.co.uk/html/chris_hawes__car.html for more of this car. The 'Back To The Future' DeLorean used in the Twin Pines Mall sequence of BTTF was vin 5261 and both cars were built within an hour of each other. This little movie shows the upgraded ICE, remote central locking, alarm/immobiliser and remote start. The exhaust is unique, utilising 21" headers. The gullwing doors, stainless steel construction, low slung profile and movie success have made these cars truly timeless.

  • He's driving it so tame, there is a difference between unnecessary rough hard launches and winding out a Volvo V-6 in 3rd. If you don't tach it out occasionally the oil passages will clog, oh well I guess you have to adjust the valves anyway right?

  • nonsense, many DeLoreans are driven gently don't have issues with blocked oil passages. Providing you annually change the oil and/or every 6000 miles then it will be fine. The valves do not need any adjustment, where are you getting your misinformation from?

  • 2:06, propper use of the horn invention.. by the way, do these cars have mid-mounted motors?

  • The prototype cars were mid-engined but the production cars were rear.

  • hmm sounds nothing like back to the future...... guess thats hollywood eh? lol i want a new one! i'll put a ls1 in it give her some real power!

  • American's have installed Northstar V8's, Chevy V8's etc but most of these engines are really heavy which will upset the handling. Rover/Buick V8 is very similar weight to the DeLorean engine....

  • If I had a Delorean I would drive back in time and relive the 80's over and over again.

    Please god give me a Delorean so I can escape from this horrible time period!

    Step 1: Go to and finish college.

    Step 2: Get well paying job

    Step 3: Own a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12

  • I found an original dmc for 5k, some of the car got on fire still works though, should I buy it?

  • Marty Mc who...... oh yeah......... fly

  • Your car actually sounds decent. The other DMC12's I've heard don't sound as well. Do you have the upgraded exhaust system?

  • @ratmphan It's in England. In England you drive on the left side not the right 'cause the right side is the wrong side at England.

  • Тача из фильма "Назад в будущее"

  • Time circuits on?

  • GOD DAMN I WANT THIS CAR!
