Description
1981 DeLorean DMC-12 — 5-Speed Manual — 17, 808 Miles — Exceptional Recommissioned Example
1981 | 17, 808 Miles | 5-Speed Manual | Stainless Steel | Grey Interior | UK Registered | Historic Vehicle | VIN 7174
Hamilton Gray’s are delighted to offer this beautifully presented 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, finished in its unmistakable brushed stainless steel with a wonderfully preserved grey interior.
Few cars have achieved the cultural status of the DeLorean. More than four decades after its introduction, Giorgetto Giugiaro’s extraordinary wedge-shaped design, gullwing doors and unpainted stainless-steel bodywork remain instantly recognisable.
This particular car, chassis SCEDT26T1BD007174 — VIN 7174, is an especially late example from the 1981 model-year production run and has fascinating documented history stretching back many years.
It has been in the hands of the same enthusiast owner since 2018 and, importantly, has been maintained as a car to be driven and enjoyed rather than simply stored away.
VIN 7174 — A Very Late 1981 DeLorean
The chassis number adds another interesting dimension to this particular car.
DeLorean’s 1981 model-year VIN sequence ran to 7199, making VIN 7174 one of the very last cars within the 1981 VIN sequence.
It therefore represents a fascinating example from towards the end of the original 1981 production run at the famous Dunmurry factory in Northern Ireland.
The VIN decodes as a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 manufactured at Dunmurry and equipped with the 2. 8-litre PRV V6.
Importantly, we have also located an archived American sales advertisement for this exact chassis from earlier in its life.
