The 16 year old who bought a DeLorean as his first car

Imagine buying and importing a DeLorean as your first car. Well, that is what 16-year old Miles Reynolds Cole from Bristol did in 2017. The BTTF fanatic stopped at nothing to save up and convince his Mum to let him import a DMC 12 resto project from America, and then feverishly resurrected it in his Dad's single garage ready to be a daily driven retro first car.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
When Miles (now 20) contacted The Late Brake Show to be considered for The Projects of the People, Jonny knew he had to take a closer look at this ratty rolling resto icon. Here was a young guy hellbent on owning his ultimate car from such an early age, and tinkering on retro cars when many folks his age are too busy on Tik Tok and X Box. Jonny absolutely loved the story behind the 'Man DeLorean', and we hope you will too. Because the car world needs more people like Miles.

As a Delorean owner myself I met Miles who quite frankly is not of this time ironically. He is an inspirational modern day guy who is just the epitome of old school values. He is invaluable to the car community and never fails to step forward and help. Quite frankly the guys a legend and well loved in the South West. Have no doubt...he is the reincarnation of Doc Brown himself.

If I met a 21 year old somewhere and he said "I'm building a car in my garage in an attempt to beat a Ferrari's lap time." I'd wouldn't believe him, unless he then got into his daily driver DMC-12 held together with duck tape and drove off. Another great video from Johnny, I love how these videos feel like we've accidentally walked in on two car people talking about cars as if we weren't there.

@@Charlie-Charlot Charlie, I’m guessing you’re not from round these parts (England - or should it be Great Britain?). Clarkson is a polarising figure in his home land. Dare I call him Marmite - you either love him or you hate him. Regardless you have to admire his successes and his ability to hit the psyche and interest of the middle man (or woman). His ability to reinvent himself with the Amazon hit Clarkson’s Farm shows his flexibility and the understanding of his core audience. He’s assisted, guided, and maybe led by a very underestimated and slightly camera shy Andy Wilman as his producer (and school era best friend - I think). What side do you think I’m on lol

Morning Jonny. Well this young man may be a future Gordon Murray. You can tell he's already way ahead of the game . If possibly slightly optimistic about the performance capabilities of his Mazda ! Very enjoyable and every car you feature you seem to fall for ! I do believe that John Delorean had many unfair accusations about his control in his company . I think there were all sorts of shannagins (is that a word?! ) in the politics and funding of the company. And there's no doubt that had it not been for the film trilogy the car would have remained dead and buried. As for the styling , the Delorean has aged well and still looks elegant. (Definitely EV material !) Thanks Jonny.

Good on him and I think we need a follow up on the ferrari killing home build at some point. At the first thought of an electric conversion is a small amount of sick in my mouth but if you owned a delorean an electric motor, given the film, seems allowable. Plus the opportunity to put a 'warning 121GW' sticker on your charging unit would kind of make up for it. Working in San Francisco (6/7 years ago?) And on route to a meeting ( after a heavy night) I looked out over the bay area to see a delorean speed boat conversion travelling at a fair rate. It was brilliant!

Superb! Thank you to The Late Brake Show team and Miles for sharing this charming story. I loved the filming, the locations (Bristol's a wonderful place) and the always outstanding production quality. The script and sentiments are happily received and my own feelings about old cars had some good company with Johnny's and Miles' words. I've been into cars since I was an infant, I'd have everything if I could.... My sister; not interested in cars at all, unless it's a DeLorean. It's a car that affects people who aren't into cars, maybe because of the film, but surely also because it was distinctly different. I love that it transcends the car scene. The sound was lovely too, brilliantly recorded, it made me long for the experience of driving that car or just witnessing it go by.

Did I see this car on the m25 in January ish this year near Heathrow in the outside lane naturally ! In 40 years I have only seen 2 on the road one must have been approx 1989 and the other this year. It looked amazing in the half light . Great guy for running it every day .best of luck with it

This story, car and Miles are an inspiration to us all car nuts. The DeLorean has a unique character and appeal that will never be forgotten. The Porsche can’t hold a candle to the DeLorean. The fact that it is daily driven at 40 years old just says everything. He is the future of car obsession

Fantastic video, great to see a well used DeLorean. Greetings from #5124, also Oct 81, only a few hundred later than Miles' car. Great work young man, I hold my hat up to you.

Absolutely loved the Back to the Future intro, Miles seemed a decent bloke, I hope you go back and feature his completed race car project. Another class film Jonny, brilliantly eclectic as usual.

That was even more epic than the last video. No not video, TLBS has progressed to making proper films. Dead set one of the few channels I really look forwards to every new instalment. This content genuinely makes me feel happier about the world.

I had my reservations about this episode, thinking that a young delorean owner would be a rich pompaus, but he seems genuine and admirable for the work that he's put into a non-functioning car. Reminds me of myself when I was his age and bought a porche 924 at 17 that barely ran, not realizing that I was in way over my head, and didn't have the resources (at the time) to make it into a working vehicle. You can tell he's passionate about his love of the delorean and has worked hard to make it a daily driver, even with all the things that are broken on it.
