    The Ulster Transport Museum Cars

    I managed to view the 50000 mile car at the Ulster Transport Museum in Cultra recently. My visit to this section was fleeting due to time constraints and I didn't get reading the info plaques on the display stands, therefore they could have answered the questions I am about to ask.

    Does anyone know how the museum acquired the 50000 mile car, was it on display in the Museum prior to the factory closing and the same question applies to Giugiaro's wooden mock up, how did the museum manage to obtain it?

    Robert Lamrock of the DOA provided me with this answer on Delorean Owners Club UK website....

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "50,000 mile car?"
