1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Coupe - Silver - 61,474 Miles - 5-Speed Manual

Overview

A 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 coupe finished in unpainted brushed stainless steel with a grey leather interior. The vehicle is a left-hand drive, two-door, two-seat coupe with gullwing doors. The build plate reads October 1981, manufactured by DeLorean Motor Cars Ltd.

The interior is fitted with grey leather bucket seats, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, a cassette head unit with Dolby noise reduction, and manual climate controls with defrost, heater, vent, bi-level and norm modes. A 5-speed manual transmission with a leather shift boot is fitted. The centre console houses a rear window demister switch and additional toggle switches. DMC-branded door sill plates are fitted to both sides. Two keys are included.

Condition

The exterior stainless steel panels show light marks, fingerprints and surface soiling consistent with the vehicle's age. The black lower body cladding and bumpers are intact. The rear bumper carries a moulded DeLorean script. All four DMC-branded turbine-style alloy wheels are fitted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tyres, which show visible tread remaining. The front bonnet (luggage compartment) is carpeted in black and appears tidy. The rear engine cover louvres and grilles are intact.

Inside, the driver seat cushion leather shows wear and creasing. The passenger seat presents in better condition with lighter creasing. The grey carpet shows soiling in the driver footwell area, and a rubber heel pad is fitted. The dashboard is covered in a grey carpet-like material. The steering wheel leather shows wear at the lower rim. The headliner and door cards are trimmed in dark grey. The gullwing door interior pull straps are leather-wrapped. The engine bay shows a DMC De Lorean Motor Company branded air cleaner cover. The engine bay appears tidy with visible air conditioning compressor and associated hoses.
