Car Crash: The Delorean Story

If you watched the Back to the Future trilogy, then you should recognise the name and the photographs too :)

The underbody is affixed to a double-Y frame chassis, derived from the Lotus Esprit platform. Three very special editions of these cars were made, fabriqued in full plated 24-karat gold.

 

  

The third and last gold-plated De Lorean is currently for sale at the price of $250,000.

In the documentary here, BBC4 takes a look at the the life and death of the Delorean car plant in Belfast, which crashed and burned amidst a flurry of cocaine, bankruptcy and fraud.
