The DeLorean Time Machine, immortalised by the 1980s film Back to the Future, has become one of the most iconic sci-fi vehicles in history.

When John DeLorean founded his car company in 1981, he could hardly have imagined that his struggling venture would one day become a legendary symbol in the annals of science fiction.

“Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me that you built a time machine … out of a DeLorean ?!”

In 1986, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale selected his DMC aluminium vehicle as the time machine of choice for Doc Brown, Marty McFly (and even Biff) .. allowing them to navigate a perfectly crafted timeline.

The DMC DeLorean appears in all three BTTF films, each time with different modifications. It's so extensively documented online that you can easily find images from every angle to help with your homemade build. Aside from the Dr. Emmett Brown costume (available for £20 on eBay), we had everything we needed right at home.

We had an absolute blast creating this costume and are thrilled that our kids love the Back to the Future franchise just as much as "those people from the '80s" - a.k.a. their parents. Enjoy!
