John DeLorean’s widow looks to the future as she settles court case

The widow of John DeLorean, whose famous car travelled through time in the 1985 film Back To The Future and its sequels has reached a court settlement over the use of his name, just in time for “Back To The Future day”.

Last year, Sally DeLorean sued a company she said had been illegally using the DeLorean name for years. The DMC-12, known simply as “the DeLorean”, was driven by Michael J Fox in the movie and has since gained a cult following.
