DeLorean Motor Company[1] (also doing business as Classic DMC) is a US company based in Humble, Texas, established in 1995 by Liverpool-born mechanic Stephen Wynne,[2] using the branding of the defunct automobile manufacturer. It has no direct connection to the original company, but rather supplies parts and services to owners of DeLoreans, such as maintenance, restoration, and the sale of NOS (new old stock), OEM (original equipment manufacturer), aftermarket, and replacement parts.

The company acquired the former manufacturer's remaining parts inventory[3][4] and registered its stylized "DMC" logo trademark.[1] It has an authorized dealer in Orlando, Florida and a company-owned location in Huntington Beach, California.

In 2022, the company announced it was entering production on a brand new EV DeLorean, inspired by the DMC-12.[5] The announcement signalled a change for the company from being a seller of "new old stock", into becoming an EV manufacturer.[6][7]
