It's good to see you sharing yours around Gary, they are forever linked with that film after all. Interesting that the value is climbing away too.


IIRC the main criticism of the car was that it was underpowered. Had the DMC12 managed to hold on for a year or two longer so they could have fitted the Renault 25 Turbo version of the Douvrin V6 motor; I think it would have been a game changer for the model.

Good point I know it was underwhelming when launched other than the looks department, reading Gary's stories the ongoing mods seem to have sorted them into an enjoyable ride nowadays.
