Nearly bought a Nova when they were being built/marketed in Mirfield. Fortunately common sense prevailed as the lid would have been a problem in our climate, bad enough getting in a conventional car in the rain. "Special" seats were available in Mirfied, De Lorian had just closed operations. Trying to see over the dash line and keeping you head down from the lid made it an ideal static posermobile. Bonito (GT40 look alike) was a better bet.
