OWNERS - TONY ATKINS (New South Wales)


Tony Atkins is the owner of VIN SCEDT26TBD000510. Not only is it one of the first 10 DeLoreans produced, it is also an original factory-commissioned Right-Hand Drive model.

He has owned the car since the early 90's, and was purchased from the Holmes a Court family, a wealthy family from Western Australia. The car remains mostly original, including the windshield aerial, dark gray rims, and it is still running on the original Goodyear NCT tyres! I was fortunate enough to see this car when Tony brought it along to a BBQ held at our home in Bligh Park, NSW in 2002. Tony's DeLorean is a very interesting car, with many subtle differences in comparison to the later model DeLoreans.

Tony plans to maintain the heritage of VIN 510 by keeping it as close to as factory standard as possible. It is great to see such a unique DeLorean in Australia.
