The DeLorean Motor Company may have only been around for two years in the early eighties, but the DMC-12 achieved cult status when it was chosen to be time-machine by the makers of the Back to the Future Trilogy. They especially liked the futuristic gull-wing doors and stainless steel bodywork. Twenty years on, several companies have sprung up to serve the cult following, selling all the props you need to convert your DeLorean into the BTTF Car - incl. the BTTF1 Fuel Cell, Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor and even a Flux Capacitor!.
