It is indeed a VERY well known production car!

I really never would have thought that this puzzle would make it to the pro level...

LOCKED for you.

I know you are right, but still I need some orthographic correction  ;)

Very good!

Your point.

That was the only possibly way to place the super well known DeLorean here at Autopuzzles  :D

They have obviously not yet fitted the flux capacitor.

The photo was taken about 20 kms from my home. It's an unusual sight - Belfast men having a job to do.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

That's definitely Dunmurry is it?
For some reason I had this particular picture as being the very last DeLorean being produced (apart from bitsa cars put together later from parts) actually on the line in Columbus, Ohio, after production had been moved there from Northern Ireland; but I did have a question mark after it!

Perhaps that isn't right...

I should say this is the US-assembly line...

You're probably right - Belfast workers would have been having a tea-break.
