Spotted this DeLorean at a car show at the weekend, it is owned and displayed at the London Car Museum which is based close to Heathrow. They have re trimmed the interior in red! It is a Jun 81 car and was brought in from CA. Needs some body work so gave them PJ Grady's contact info!

Great picture Chris and good find

Strange as I dint think that car is shown/listed on their website..maybe they want to keep it secret!
