The DeLorean DMC-12 - the car made famous as a time machine in the film Back to the Future - is making a return to car showrooms.

But what was once a gas guzzling sports car is now getting a very modern makeover.

A US-based British businessman has redeveloped the iconic car as an electric vehicle.

DeLorean's Cameron Wynne took BBC News for a drive in the revitalised model, the DMC-EV.

Produced by Jack Garland.
