Built in Northern Ireland under an agreement with the British government, one that partially bankrolled the DeLorean Motor Company, the DMC-12 was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, of Italdesign. It featured distinctive gullwing doors and outer body panels of brushed stainless steel, over a rear-engine, Renault-powered chassis and suspension that was largely based upon the Lotus Esprit. Colin Chapman was brought in to resolve any engineering issues.

This 1980s icon is driven by a fuel injected 173.9-cid V-6 engine paired with an automatic transmission. Four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and black leather bucket seats make this car a joy to drive. With only 12,722 original miles, this car comes equipped with power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio with cassette player.
