Precisely 7.28am tomorrow morning (Wednesday, October 21) is the date and time Marty and Doc crashed the future in the second of the three Back to the Future movies.

They did it travelling in their 1981 DeLorean – a US sports car manufactured by John DeLorean’s DeLorean Motor Company between 1981-83.

One county Armagh man is selling a limited edition 1981 DeLorean – made famous by the Hollywood trilogy – with just 28,000 miles on the clock.

Alastair Matthews, from Moira, has owned the red DeLorean for the best part of 14 years but has decided its future lies with a new owner.

Alastair told Armagh I the car “hasn’t been out as much as I would like and having two young children is not really conducive to it being a family car”.
