Pilot 25

Pilot 25 also managed to survive beyond it's anticipated lifespan and is now a truly unique DeLorean - one of only a handful of original pilot cars in existence.

This car belongs to Alistair McCann of Northern Ireland - who bought the car some years back, after the car had been laid up in a shed for nearly fifteen years.

Pilot 25 was perhaps the most production ready of all the pilot cars and was used extensively to promote the car for marketing purposes and auto industry reviews.

This car was driven by a number out automotive magazines for reviews, etc, including Autocar, where it is pictured on the front cover.

The pictures below show Pilot 25 and some of it's unique features. However, perhaps the most unique thing about these two cars is their history - how they managed to survive when all other pilots were systematically destroyed, crushed, scrapped or even used by Lotus for banger racing!

PJ Grady Europe would like to thank Alistair McCann for providing us with some great photographs of Pilot 25 and for allowing us to share them with the wider DeLorean community. At the time of writing, Alistair is also preparing Pilot 25 for the test track to recreate the famous Autocar magazine cover (pictured below). We wish Alistair all the best and look forward to learning more about this very special car.
