Classic Car News: Take Your Classic Car Back To The Future
“The Back To The Future films were classics in their own right†reports Suite101.com, but the car they chose was something even more legendary. Back in 1985 when the film was first released, the DeLorean DMC-12 was already a pretty unique car, but imagine turning up to a school reunion now in this classic car – you may not have been cool at school but undoubtedly this vintage vehicle will ensure you're now the king of cool.
The DeLorean, one of the most controversial cars of all time, featured in the Back To The Future trilogies in its much modified state and was created by Formula One design innovator Colin Chapman of Lotus Cars –“ little did he know that the car would become one of the most famous movie carsâ€, reports Suite101.com.
Imagine getting into trouble before you're even born! It seems like a pretty difficult task, but Marty McFly managed to do it via the Back To The Future films – and all thanks to the metal marvel of the DeLorean. Vintage cars hold their classic status due to their rare existence, which is why the DeLorean earns its classic title with only around 8,500 DMC-12 cars produced.
Thanks to the films being regularly aired and the likability of the Doc Brown character, “it's not just middle-aged dads who get a kick from the DeLorean car†reports the Times Online. The hype for the DeLorean was huge back in the 1980's, but the classic vehicle still had some unflattering reviews, such as being said to be “underpoweredâ€. However, with 130bhp (which seems nothing now), the difference isn't that significant when compared to the “smog-strangled Corvette of the late seventies†and it's 165bhp.
The hype generated by the introduction of such a unique vintage motor meant that in 1981 it was going for the kind of money you'd get a Ferrari or Porsche 911 for. It cannot be disputed that the Delorean was a revolutionary car for its time; with the Times Online reporting that “some people even thought it was a kit car†– but it of course was not.
You certainly feel like your back in the past driving one of these cars, with an 85mph speedometer and a three-speed automatic gear-box – taking you back to the 1980's. The Times Online states that “the whole DeLorean thing is a fascinating chapter in automotive history, and the good news is that it could be around for a whileâ€, with Stephen Wynne taking on the DeLorean name and rebuilding these vintage cars – making them as good as new.
