    Sad to see the Marea go - but it has many adventures still to come, I imagine!
    Love the stories about your Dad and the difficulties back in those days!

    Dad's first car was an old maroon Riley 4/68 3583XI, doubt they'd have one.
    Bought off a driveway on Lisburn Rd.
    That was followed by Consul Cortina. 5909KZ.
    Delorean, my mate from Maghaberry worked there from day 1 to the finish😢.
    He was on the gullwing doors. Signed his name on the inner skin of every door he made.

    My Dad's first car was a 1966 Vauxhall Victor estate (Canadian market version). Very cool that your father worked at the DeLorean factory.

    That was quite a lot of interesting Norn Iron “troubles” commentary… wild times! 🤯

    The museum is all about nostalgia. My first Dad car memory is a ‘71 Cortina mk3. Also (no pun intended) now I understand why I keep seeing you on instagram driving the Marea in the States. 😅

    Think the Trafficators were electro magnetic in operation and the split screen, the split bumper and ridge down the bonnet is because the Morris minor was altered when it first came out to make it wider if I'm not mistaken ? 😊

    Why does everyone hate so much on the PRV engine?! It wasn’t meant to propel rocket ships, but it ended up in a a few emblematic “Weird Cars” of the era.
    970,315 units were produced in total according to Wikipedia.

      Not sure the DMC was ever really designed as a “sports” car or intended to break any records with a 3-speed automatic (of course there was a manual, but for the 🇺🇸 market?!) 🤔 More of GT grand tourer?
