Phew.
Phew.
Interesting , those things were one of the worst made piles of shit to ever hit the road , they had one of the worst most unreliable and underpowered Renult engines ever to be developed in them.
They were doomed from the start , then John Deloren decided to snort the company share holders cash and went off to prison and that was that.
But hey at least they will never rust , but 33K I dont think so , a super clean one will only set you back about 12 to 16K , heh try and park it in a parking lot and get in or out of it , lol.
They could be worth it I suppose if they changed the engine and running gear and you like funky late 70's space themed interior styling ?
Im sure some fool will buy them though.

If the new car comes with a Flaux Compasitor installed and the option to fuel the car off of biodegradeable products then I could see paying the 33K asking price... otherwise WHY?

GOOD CRAP... and that costs $5000!!!! WOW!
The good sound system is $5000.
RIP OFF!
I love this car....(looks) but this is way underclassed. At least in Back to the future they were cool

It's a shame what happened to the original company especially after the UK Government plowed millions into a state of the art factory in Northern Ireland (which I believe is still empty now).
The car had some bad flaws though. Although the body couldn't rust the chasis sure could and badly. The struts that hold up the gull-wing doors are prone to fail as they're not strong enough and that Renault/Peugeot engine was just shite on a stick.
The stainless steel body would also 'record' the hand print of anyone who ever touched the body...
The car had potential, but never really got out off starting grid...
