GENERAL DESCRIPTION<br />

STAINLESS STEEL<br />

The De Lorean body is made of high quality grade 304 brushed stainless steel, which gives the car its unique<br />

appearance.<br />

Damaged panels are easily replaceable by unbolting the panel from the G.R.P. body shell and replacing<br />

with a new one. Scratches or superficial damage can be corrected using established stainless steel repair<br />

methods.<br />

One of the major features of the De Lorean car is its Gull Wing Doors. These are counter balanced with preset<br />

torsion bars. The doors are held in the open position by the use of gas struts. The Gull Wing Doors open<br />

in less space than conventional doors and gives easier access to the interior to the car.<br />

The drag coefficient of the car is 0.35. Rear louvres were incorporated to improve the overall aerodynamic<br />

drag and conserve fuel.<br />

The front and rear fascias are made of premoulded impact absorbing polyurethane. The fascias blend with<br />

the stainless steel panels.<br />

Appearance and Care<br />

Wash the panels with warm water and a low sud detergent. Stains of tar and grease may be removed with<br />

gasoline or white spirit.<br />

The car should be washed before applying the polish treatment recommended by DMC, to preserve the<br />

appearance of the stainless steel panels.
