Re: [DML] Memorabilia questions

RIA 7126 & RIA 7124 Were used as test cars to complete 50,000miles, around N
Ireland, testing required by US law. One of the cars never made it to 50,000
and was written off the other now resides in a Belfast museum which you will
see if you are coming over to Ireland for the Eurofest next year! The 2 test
cars had extra head/fog lights in the front DMC grill.

The licence stays with the car not the owner, although in England the car
licence is based on the year of manufacture like X1234 ABC would be a
current registration (X denotes Sept 00 to April 01), in Northern Ireland
they are based on area of registration. DeLorean's registered by the factory
used the prefix's SIJ, AXI and WIA.
