1981 DeLorean DMC-12 — 5-Speed Manual — 17,808 Miles — Exceptional Recommissioned Example
1981 | 17,808 Miles | 5-Speed Manual | Stainless Steel | Grey Interior | UK Registered | Historic Vehicle | VIN 7174
Hamilton Gray’s are delighted to offer this beautifully presented 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, finished in its unmistakable brushed stainless steel with a wonderfully preserved grey interior.
Few cars have achieved the cultural status of the DeLorean. More than four decades after its introduction, Giorgetto Giugiaro’s extraordinary wedge-shaped design, gullwing doors and unpainted stainless-steel bodywork remain instantly recognisable.
This particular car, chassis SCEDT26T1BD007174 — VIN 7174, is an especially late example from the 1981 model-year production run and has fascinating documented history stretching back many years.
It has been in the hands of the same enthusiast owner since 2018 and, importantly, has been maintained as a car to be driven and enjoyed rather than simply stored away.
VIN 7174 — A Very Late 1981 DeLorean
The chassis number adds another interesting dimension to this particular car.
DeLorean’s 1981 model-year VIN sequence ran to 7199, making VIN 7174 one of the very last cars within the 1981 VIN sequence.
It therefore represents a fascinating example from towards the end of the original 1981 production run at the famous Dunmurry factory in Northern Ireland.
The VIN decodes as a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 manufactured at Dunmurry and equipped with the 2.8-litre PRV V6.
Importantly, we have also located an archived American sales advertisement for this exact chassis from earlier in its life.
At that time, VIN 7174 was recorded with just 4,998 miles, equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox and grey interior, providing a valuable historical reference point for the car’s remarkably low mileage today.
Documented American History & Specialist Attention
The archived advertisement provides some particularly interesting information about the car’s earlier life in the United States.
It records that the DeLorean underwent significant recommissioning and servicing during 2012, with work reportedly including attention to the:
* Clutch master and slave cylinders
* Brake system
* Brake callipers
* Cooling hoses and belts
* Electrical instrumentation
* Fuel lines
* Drainage systems
The car was also described at that time as having no rust or corrosion to its chassis or frame.
Perhaps most significantly, the historic advertisement refers to the involvement of Rob Grady / PJ Grady in Sayville, New York, one of the best-known names within the international DeLorean community.
The advertisement stated that the car had been inspected and worked upon by the specialist and that historical service documentation relating to the car was held.
It was also described as retaining remarkable levels of originality at the time, including its original tyres.
Together with the recorded 4,998-mile mileage, this provides a particularly useful insight into the earlier life of VIN 7174.
A Properly Sorted DeLorean
The difference between a DeLorean that looks good and one that actually drives properly can be considerable.
This car has benefited from careful recommissioning and extensive ongoing maintenance throughout the current ownership, with considerable attention paid to ensuring that it remains mechanically healthy, reliable and enjoyable.
It starts readily from cold, settles into a smooth idle and drives exceptionally well. The famous 2.8-litre PRV V6 pulls cleanly throughout the rev range and has been professionally tuned and correctly set up.
Perhaps most importantly for the enthusiast, this is the desirable 5-speed manual version.
The gearbox operates exactly as it should, while the steering, suspension and braking inspire confidence on the road.
The current owner has exercised the car regularly in dry conditions specifically to avoid the problems associated with prolonged storage. During his ownership it has never been driven on salted winter roads and has always been stored indoors throughout the winter months.
Extensive Maintenance & Upgrades
Recent maintenance and recommissioning has included:
* Full engine service
* Engine professionally tuned and correctly set up
* Stainless-steel coolant header tank
* Stainless-steel coolant expansion tank
* Cooling system checked and pressure tested
* Upgraded ventilated front brake discs
* Brake callipers rebuilt throughout with stainless-steel pistons
* New brake pads
* UK-specification Hella headlamps
* Air-conditioning serviced
* Extensive ongoing preventative maintenance throughout the current ownership
The result is a DeLorean that feels properly sorted rather than one requiring a lengthy list of jobs before it can be confidently enjoyed.
17,808 Miles — With Earlier Mileage Documentation
The odometer currently displays approximately 17,808 miles.
Significantly, the archived American sales advertisement for this exact chassis records VIN 7174 at just 4,998 miles earlier in its life.
This provides an extremely useful historical mileage reference and, together with the car’s accompanying documentation and remarkably well-preserved condition, adds considerable credibility to its low recorded mileage.
The car comes with a substantial collection of invoices, service records and supporting documentation accumulated throughout its life and current ownership.
The complete history file is available for inspection.
Beautifully Preserved
Cosmetically, this is an exceptionally attractive example.
The famous stainless-steel bodywork presents with an excellent, consistent finish, while the contrasting black exterior trim remains in excellent condition.
Open those extraordinary gullwing doors and the grey interior is equally impressive.
The seats, dashboard and associated trim have been beautifully preserved and give the cabin exactly the wonderfully distinctive early-1980s atmosphere a DeLorean should have.
Both gullwing doors operate correctly and close cleanly.
Historic Vehicle
The car is fully UK registered and registered as a Historic Vehicle, benefiting from Historic Vehicle taxation status.
Although MOT exempt, the car can be supplied with a fresh MOT for the purchaser’s additional peace of mind.
An Icon That Can Actually Be Enjoyed
DeLorean’s are increasingly collectible, but buying one purely on cosmetic appearance can be an expensive mistake.
Cars that have spent years sitting unused can require substantial expenditure on their fuel, cooling, braking and electrical systems before they become genuinely enjoyable classics.
That work has already been undertaken here.
This is a carefully maintained, properly exercised and mechanically sorted example that can be bought with the intention of actually getting in, turning the key and enjoying it.
The current owner has owned the car since 2018 and is only offering it for sale because it simply isn’t receiving the use it deserves. With several other cars in his collection, the time has come for the DeLorean to pass to its next custodian.
For anyone who has always promised themselves a DMC-12, VIN 7174 represents a particularly compelling opportunity.
A very late 1981 chassis, desirable 5-speed manual transmission, beautifully preserved grey interior, just 17,808 miles displayed, documented at only 4,998 miles earlier in its life, known specialist attention in the United States and substantial subsequent maintenance.
Add to that the extraordinary stainless-steel Giugiaro bodywork, gullwing doors and unmistakable presence, and this is a DeLorean that offers considerably more than simply its famous appearance.
A beautifully preserved, low-mileage and properly sorted example of one of the most recognisable motor cars ever produced.

Comprehensive Nut & Bolt Restoration | 609 Hours Documented | Better Than New
There are restored Mk2 GTIs, and then there are restorations carried out with absolutely no compromise.
Offered here is an exceptional Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 which has undergone a meticulous, no-expense-spared restoration by renowned marque specialists DS Motorsport UK Ltd. Completed over an 18-month period between March 2023 and September 2024, the restoration totalled an incredible 609.25 documented workshop hours.
Importantly, this isn’t simply a cosmetic refurbishment. Every major mechanical, structural and cosmetic component has either been restored, rebuilt or replaced using genuine OEM or the highest quality available parts.
Although the odometer now reads approximately 150,000 miles, virtually every wear component throughout the vehicle has been renewed. It presents and drives like a freshly restored car rather than one reflecting its mileage.

The Volvo P1800 is a classic sports car that debuted in 1961 and became an iconic model for the Swedish automaker.
The P1800’s development began in the late 1950s when Volvo sought to create a stylish and affordable sports car to
compete with models like the Jaguar E-Type and the Mercedes-Benz SL. Initially, the car’s design was outsourced to
Italian design house Frua, and early production was handled by Jensen Motors in the UK. However, quality issues
prompted Volvo to move production to its own facilities in Sweden by 1963. The P1800 gained widespread recognition
when it was featured as the car of choice for Simon Templar, played by Roger Moore, in the popular 1960s television
series “The Saint.” Known for its elegant design, reliability, and robust performance, the P1800 continued production until
1973, leaving a lasting legacy as one of Volvo’s most beloved models.
We are delighted to offer this in blue metallic with tan interior. The car was first registered on 8th December 1972, the
penultimate year of production. Given that one rather famous P1800 in the States had covered over 3 million miles, the
indicated mileage of just over 107,000 miles seems pretty moderate. However, the car looks like it could have half that
having had a comprehensive, ‘nut and bolt’ restoration approximately 10 years ago. The big bundle of paperwork that
comes with the car sets out the full extent of the work but to give you a flavour these are some of the highlights:-
• All rot in body / chassis cut out and replaced / repaired
• Professional bare metal respray including engine compartment
• New vinyl roof
• New windscreen
• Much re-chroming and new stainless steel side trims
• Block and head skimmed
• Block re-bored with new pistons rings and bearings
• Crank polished
• New camshaft
• New oil pump, points condenser distributor cap and leads
• Radiator re-cored
• New heater valve and water pump
• New 3 piece clutch
• Brake callipers replaced / refurbished
• New discs, pads and brake pipes
• New master cylinder
• New wheel bearings, bushes, ball joints and tie bars
• 4 new gas shock absorbers
• 4 genuine Minilite wheels and fresh tyres
• New petrol tank
• New fuel pump
• New injectors, fuel pressure regulator, pressure gauge sender and thermal cut off switch
• New headlining, door cards and trim panels
• Front seats fully rebuilt and recovered
• New dash top
• Steering wheel refurbished
• Stainless steel exhaust fitted
• New lights / lenses and new horns
• New battery
• Refurbished alternator / starter motor
With the future in mind, the car was then rust-proofed and the head converted to run unleaded petrol. One look at the car confirms that the restoration has stood up well. There are one or two blemishes in the paintwork which the new buyer might want to address, but we are being picky and plenty would just drive it as it is and revel in the positive attention this Volvo brings. The blue metallic is a fabulous colour, especially in the sunshine and contrasts beautifully with the tan interior. The chromework is nice with just a bit of pitting over the rear lights and a couple of tiny dents in the steel trims too.
The vinyl roof with its Webasto-style sunroof still looks new. It sits well on the fresh and undamaged Minilite alloys (shod with quality Bridgestone rubber) but, for those seeking out originality, a set of original, refurbished wheels come with the car. Inside, the big, plush seats look inviting and the dash presents beautifully with a comprehensive range of instruments and a crack-free dash top. The tan door cards look fresh and blue carpets clean. The boot area is simply huge and this could be the most practical sports coupe you’ve ever owned.
A bundle of invoices for parts and maintenance, Service manual, Owner’s manual, 2 keys and a small box of spare parts.
The swoopy and beautiful, Frua-penned styling of the P1800 is a world away from the boxy styling that has become synonymous with Volvos, but hides a classic that is more robust and more practical than you would ever imagine for a 50 year old car. Someone has spent a lot of time and money on this car and the restoration has stood up well in the intervening years. With a very reasonable estimate, we certainly think you would struggle to bring a poor car up to this standard without spending considerably more. This really is a classic you can buy with both head and heart!
