Vintage Voltage series 2 DELOREAN Episode 2 QUEST PROMO

Taking this star car into the future with an electrifying conversion

Watch on Quest every Thursday 9pm - Freeview, Sky & Virgin

Moggy is asked to fulfil a childhood ambition for businessman Leighton by creating the ‘coolest commuter car on the planet’ - converting an underpowered DeLorean to run on electric and be the stunning sportscar the car maker could only dream of.

Owner Leighton bought his DeLorean with the idea of converting it to electric – so he can drive to work in it and have the worlds’ coolest commute. A huge ‘Back to the future’ fan, he wants its under-powered petrol engine and poor handling to be transformed by a retro electric fit. But this unusual two door coupe needs a complete engineering makeover and the team have to totally restore the interior. When completed, how will this electric car perform on a daily commute and will it be the dream DeLorean which finally lives up to the film icon image?

If the central door locking opens both gull wing doors automatically, what is the owner supposed to do if he's on his own? I don't think Moggie thought that idea through.
