🧰 Description Overview

This 1981 DeLorean DMC‑12 is a low‑mileage, two‑owner example of one of the most recognizable sports cars ever built. With just 10,000 miles indicated on its five‑digit odometer, it presents in exceptional condition and retains the signature styling cues that made the DMC‑12 an icon: brushed stainless‑steel bodywork, wedge‑shaped profile, and dramatic gull‑wing doors.

Power comes from the rear‑mounted 2.85‑liter Peugeot‑Renault‑Volvo (PRV) V6, driving the rear wheels through a desirable 5‑speed manual transmission. This configuration offers the most engaging driving experience available in the DMC‑12 range, allowing the driver to make full use of the V6’s torque while enjoying the involvement of a smooth, direct manual gearbox.

Thanks to its low mileage and careful ownership, this DeLorean remains mechanically and cosmetically well‑preserved. The combination of the PRV V6, 5‑speed manual, and rear‑engine layout delivers a distinctive, period‑correct sports car feel rather than outright modern performance, with the added theater of its unique design and presence on the road.

For collectors and enthusiasts, a low‑mile, manual‑transmission DMC‑12 with only two owners is a particularly attractive proposition—offering both nostalgia and a genuinely special driving experience in one of the most recognizable shapes of the 1980s.
