DeLorean Automotive, immortalised by the DMC?12, remains one of the most visually distinctive cars in automotive history. The stainless steel body panels and trademark gullwing doors combined with Giorgetto Giugiaro?s clean Italian styling created a futuristic silhouette that still turns heads. Underneath the iconic exterior the DMC?12 used a rear?mounted PRV V6 and a coupe layout that delivered modest straightline performance but exceptional character; ownership often means embracing the quirks of a rare 1980s engineering approach. Limited production and a high collector profile make original panels, door seals and trim highly sought after, and restorers rely on specialist parts and modern reproductions to preserve factory looks while improving reliability.

The brand?s dramatic rise and fall, led by founder John DeLorean and a tumultuous factory story in Northern Ireland, plus an unexpected starring role as Doc Brown?s time machine in Back to the Future, cemented the car in popular culture. Anecdotes about fans repainting panels to mimic the movie flux capacitor or swapping in modern drivetrains underline the enthusiastic aftermarket community. For buyers and restorers visiting Automotive Superstore, sourcing correct trim, fasteners, lighting and interior components is essential to maintaining authenticity and ensuring these stainless steel legends keep rolling for decades to come. Our parts catalog includes hard to find exterior panels, seals, electrical components and performance upgrades that help owners preserve or modernise their cars.
