There aren’t many things you can say about the DMC Delorean that haven’t been said before - in Time Machine ‘trim’ this is the most famous car in the world.
As a classic car however, the Delorean divides opinion more than most. The Delorean Motor Company hit the headlines in 1981 with the DMC-12, as this car was known on the factory floor.
But behind the headlines were a series of designs and concepts which, had they had their day, could well have changed the automotive design landscape of the past 40 years.
Paul Woodford teams up with The Great British Car Journey, the interactive classic motoring attraction in Ambergate, Derbyshire to get behind the wheel - and behind the story - of the legendary Delorean.

You're correct, in an original draft of Back to the Future, the time machine was a refrigerator. But in the story they would have had to load it onto a pickup truck before time traveling. The writers agreed to change the time machine into a car. During this time while the script was being written, John DeLorean was on trial and that's what gave them the idea to use one on the film. One more fun fact, Ford offered several million dollars to the studio if they used a Mustang as the time machine. The producers decided that it would not be in Doc Brown's character to drove a Mustang. Therefore, they declined the sponsorship deal with Ford and the DeLorean was kept as the iconic time machine.
