𧰠Description Overview
This 1981 DeLorean DMCâ12 is a lowâmileage, twoâowner example of one of the most recognizable sports cars ever built. With just 10,000 miles indicated on its fiveâdigit odometer, it presents in exceptional condition and retains the signature styling cues that made the DMCâ12 an icon: brushed stainlessâsteel bodywork, wedgeâshaped profile, and dramatic gullâwing doors.
Power comes from the rearâmounted 2.85âliter PeugeotâRenaultâVolvo (PRV) V6, driving the rear wheels through a desirable 5âspeed manual transmission. This configuration offers the most engaging driving experience available in the DMCâ12 range, allowing the driver to make full use of the V6âs torque while enjoying the involvement of a smooth, direct manual gearbox.
Thanks to its low mileage and careful ownership, this DeLorean remains mechanically and cosmetically wellâpreserved. The combination of the PRV V6, 5âspeed manual, and rearâengine layout delivers a distinctive, periodâcorrect sports car feel rather than outright modern performance, with the added theater of its unique design and presence on the road.
For collectors and enthusiasts, a lowâmile, manualâtransmission DMCâ12 with only two owners is a particularly attractive propositionâoffering both nostalgia and a genuinely special driving experience in one of the most recognizable shapes of the 1980s.
