Back to the Future car for sale in Leominster
A rare DeLorean – the same model of car that sent Marty McFly time-travelling in Back to the Future – is set to go under the hammer on the south Shropshire border.
It is expected to fetch up to £23,000 at the sale in Brightwells in Leominster next week.
Only 9,000 of the cars, which can go from 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds, were ever made across the world.
A spokesman for the auction house said it was 'as good an example as you could ever wish to find' of the classic car.
He said: "Aimed squarely at the American market, the DeLorean DMC-12 was first shown in prototype form in 1976 but the first production cars did not roll off the production lines until January 1981.
"Only around 9,000 DeLoreans were produced before production came to an end in 1982.
"Survivors are now rare and sought after, especially as the car has cemented itself in popular 20th century culture since starring in the Hollywood movie Back to the Future."
The car has a valid MoT certificate until the end of October and is taxed until the end of May.
It is being auctioned off along with a number of other classic cars from noon on Wednesday at the auction house in Easters Court.
