Imagine buying and importing a DeLorean as your first car. Well, that is what 16-year old Miles Reynolds Cole from Bristol did in 2017. The BTTF fanatic stopped at nothing to save up and convince his Mum to let him import a DMC 12 resto project from America, and then feverishly resurrected it in his Dad's single garage ready to be a daily driven retro first car.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

When Miles (now 20) contacted The Late Brake Show to be considered for The Projects of the People, Jonny knew he had to take a closer look at this ratty rolling resto icon. Here was a young guy hellbent on owning his ultimate car from such an early age, and tinkering on retro cars when many folks his age are too busy on Tik Tok and X Box. Jonny absolutely loved the story behind the 'Man DeLorean', and we hope you will too. Because the car world needs more people like Miles.
