Anything over 3k would be a real waste but at over 21 bids and +5k current bid??
Really?

The interior is also in an bad shape.

Lucky seller. I bet he didn't see that one coming....:frantic:

No, the Belgian owner bought VIN#01120 together with VIN#03926 (wrecked in an engine fire) as parts cars to restore VIN#04600. All 3 were for sale on Ebay a while back ....

??? 4600 looked to be a pretty solid car in the listing, although it hadn't run in a while.

I haven't seen the cars myself yet, I only saw a few pictures on his cellphone this weekend. All I know (at the moment) is that he's planning to restore VIN#04600 with parts of the other 2. He approched us last weekend at a local carshow here in Belgium ( at wich we promoted our Belgian DeLorean Club :-) ), because we have a DeLorean Service Center right here in Bruges ( http://www.deloreanservice.be/ ).

What's the transmission type for VIN 4600?

VIN 4600 is a manual. Here is a picture of the previous auction.

Andy, I know a chap in Norway who's pretty keen to get his hands on a replacement engine for his DeLorean, might your friend in Belgium be selling off one of his engines?

The owner bought these cars as parts cars, so I don't think he will be selling anything in the near future ...

So he is combining the front of 3926 to the main part of 1120, I would assume, and keeping 1120 on the road. And 3926 would obviously be scrapped

VIN#04600 will be restored by the owner, using parts of VIN#03926 and VIN#01120. Afterwards, VIN#03926 will be scrapped (obviously) and the faith of VIN#01120 will depend on what's left of it after restoration of VIN#04600. The owner has allready ordered a few parts at the Belgian Delorean Service Center, parts that were missing or damaged on both cars.
