Forty years after its cinematic debut in Back to the Future, the DeLorean DMC-12, famed for its gull-wing doors and brushed stainless steel exterior, remains a rare sight on UK roads. New figures reveal just 303 of these iconic vehicles are still registered in the country, a testament to their enduring appeal and collector status.

Originally manufactured in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, in 1981, around 9,000 DeLorean DMC-12s were produced. Their unique design and subsequent Hollywood fame have transformed them into highly sought-after automotive treasures. The limited number remaining on UK roads underscores their rarity and the dedication of their owners to preserving a piece of cinematic and automotive history.
