The DeLorean Motor Company which was originally founded in 1975 by John DeLorean is best known for the only car model they produced – the ‘DMC-12’.
The car has a devoted cult following all thanks to its appearance in the Back to the Future trilogy. The car itself has a distinctive stainless steel finish and iconic gull-wing doors. The car and company had a very turbulent history which ended up in bankruptcy and in a desperate attempt to raise funds for his company John DeLorean even attempted to traffick cocaine (yes, cocaine!) to fund his failing car company!
After 30 years a large number of the original cars are still on the road and an estimated 6,500 cars surviving out of just over 9,000 built.
