What Is the DeLorean Owners Club UK Website?

Updated

deloreans.co.uk is the official site of the DeLorean Owners Club UK, which describes itself as the only accredited DeLorean club in the UK. It serves DeLorean owners and enthusiasts worldwide, and it is useful whether you already own a car, are shopping for one, or just want to follow the community. The club was formed in 1996 by two enthusiasts, Simon Lees-Milne and Dave Howarth, with the aim of making the DeLorean an accessible car to own and use in the UK. Membership is open to people who do not own a DeLorean, so the site is not restricted to owners.

What the site offers

The navigation reflects a club-run resource rather than a commercial dealer site:

  • Forum – a free discussion space for DeLorean-related chat and enquiries.
  • Magazine – the quarterly DeLorean News, described on the site as "the best club magazine in the UK," sent to all members.
  • Gallery and videos – event and car photos, including pages for Crich 2011 and Coventry 2007, plus XCAR videos.
  • News & Events – club announcements; a current example is discount tickets for the NEC Classic Car Show 2026.
  • Shop – club merchandise, clothing, DeLorean models, and parts.
  • DeLoreans For Sale and Hire – classified-style listings for buying or hiring a car.
  • Downloads and Links – reference material, including a DeLorean Essential Buyers Guide.
  • Join / Membership Packages / Membership Form – the route to becoming a member.

There are also reference pages on club history, the club constitution and privacy policy, the history of DMCL, right-hand-drive and European-spec cars, gold DeLoreans, and importing a DeLorean into the UK.

Who runs it and what membership adds

The club presents itself as a volunteer-run group of owners, enthusiasts, and "custodians" preserving DeLorean history, with a committee of varied ages and backgrounds that describes itself as family and gender friendly. Membership is a small annual contribution, though the site does not state the amount on the pages reviewed, so check the membership packages page for current figures.

Stated member benefits include:

  • The quarterly magazine.
  • Discount tickets to shows such as the NEC Classic Car Show.
  • Preferential insurance rates when you quote your club membership.
  • Help with valuations for classic car insurance.
  • A yearly Big Summer Meet that changes location so members across the country can attend.

When the site is the right starting point

Use deloreans.co.uk if you want to join an established UK club, ask ownership questions in a free forum, find parts or a car for sale, or read the buyers guide before shopping. If you need current prices, membership costs, or event dates, go directly to the relevant page rather than relying on summaries, since those details change and are not all published in the site's main text.
