Delorean DMC Back to the future day

(Reading time: 1 - 2 minutes)

It's finally here, every year back to the future day is here, however this year it's really the date and the year from the film. The 21st October at 4.29pm 2015 is when Marty Mcfly and Doc Emmett Brown land in the future in Doc's time travelling Delorean with it's flux capacitor.

The DMC car is synonymous with the Robert Zemeckis trilogy, making the Delorean a success in the film world, but a failure in the automotive world, the scandal didn't help with John Delorean and Colin chapman. 

However with the launch of the Back to the Future films, the Delorean was famous, every 80s child knew the car. 

There's a little history and happy #bttf2015

We found a car we've never ever come across at a show.
