In a bit of defence of the cars.... I was also there as well and I think
you've over cooked your descriptions.

1. There was actually 4 Deloreans at the show.
2. The Back to the future Car is by far not in bad repair and is a fine
example of the car
3. One the cars had a broken rear screen due to a small accident at the show
and the new screen was put in on Sunday (AT THE SHOW ON SITE)
4 Another of the cars had just come out of a museum and has probable the
best frame and underside I have ever seen,200ish mile and very tidy.
The final car was a "Restoration in Progress" car that if you had seen it
when it first came over from US you would know the vast improvement that ahs
taken place with that car....

You clearly do not fine cars when you see them, An thinking they will be
better just because they are coming from The US you might be very
surprised......

These cars are 22 years old show me a 22 year old ford with no dings or
general ware and tear!!!!!

getting of my soap box now cause its totally out of character for me........

Cheers

Like any other car make you will find Deloreans in all sorts of
condition. After many years some are in disrepair from age and
incompetant mechanics who use "wrong" parts. Others are just neglected
and stored outside. When a "new' owner gets one they generally try to
improve the condition. Many times they find they are "getting in over
their head" in time and expense so they stop. Here in the US you see
the whole gamut from pristine trailer queens to the ones that you
wonder why they are still running. It gets expensive to get and keep
one in really nice shape. With enough patience and money you can make
even the worst looking one very nice but it is ALWAYS faster and
cheaper to buy the best one you can and then fix it up. Of course it
helps if you are handy and can do much of the labor yourself but not
every owner can do that.
