The car is currently registered with a German license plate but can be registered in another country. In recent years, approximately €26,000 has been invested to bring the car to top condition. The chassis has been renewed, and it has undergone a thorough technical overhaul. It is fully ready to drive.

GENERAL DeLorean is world-famous thanks to the 1985 film "Back to the Future," where it serves as a time machine. Many books and series have been produced about John DeLorean, the flamboyant owner of the brand, and the origins of the DMC-12. John DeLorean was a successful engineer and businessman, who rose to vice president at General Motors, the world's largest automaker. He left GM in 1973 to pursue his dream of building a unique, affordable sports car that would be ahead of its time. The design was created by the Italian firm Giugiaro, with engineering by Colin Chaplin, founder of Lotus. The car features a wide, low, futuristic body made of stainless steel, gull-wing doors, and a mid-mounted engine. It is powered by a 2.8-liter 6-cylinder aluminum engine sourced from Renault/Peugeot/Volvo. The DMC-12 was aimed at the American market, with a planned production rate of 30,000 units per year at a price of $12,000. Production was ultimately set up in Northern Ireland, with the help of the British government, in a region then plagued by high unemployment and conflict.
