There are few other cars that had such a brief lifespan and such a lasting impact. The DeLorean may have been in production for less than two years, but in that time it gained cult status on the road and became an unlikely vessel for fictional time travel.

More than 30 years later, the car that was immortalised in 1985’s Back to the Future is to be brought back into limited production.

DeLorean Motor Company, the Texas-based manufacturer that purchased all the leftover parts from the Belfast factory in 1997, has announced that it intends to produce roadworthy replicas that will include the gullwing door.

It had previously been dedicated to restoring the 6,000 DeLorean cars still in existence. But a US government initiative has allowed the business to begin making new models for the first time in 33 years, to the delight of Back to the Future fans worldwide.
