Todd Terje lends his music to a car ad to pay back a favour

21 October 2014, 16:07 | Written by Laurence Day

Todd Terje is helping sell cars now. It's not that his recent LP It's Album Time didn't do well - it did - but he's repaying the generosity of Frank. The clip also doubles as Terje's music video for "Delorean Dynamite".

Frank owns a Delorean; Terje used that car in his live visuals, and is now paying back the favour by helping Frank offload the iconic vehicle.

The 100% serious ad reads:

The world’s most iconic movie car could be yours!

The time machine from the "Back To The Future" movies is a very rare and truly special American (produced in Northern Ireland) sports car that always turns heads. It's over 30 years old, which means very low road taxes and insurance. The Delorean DMC-12 was only produced in the short timespan of 1981 to 1983 and is recognized for its wing-doors and stainless steel engine. The chassis was developed by Colin Chapman and the engine was designed by Giorgio Guigiaro. This car was bought brand new in the US in 1989, has had only 3 owners and has been extremely rarely used. It was imported to Norway in 2011 and has only had one owner since. The original paperwork and documentation from Carfax comes with the car.
If you are looking for an iconic sports car and a solid collector’s item with a unique story, then this is the car for you!! Do send me a mail for a cosy chat about cars! delorean_dynamite@hotmail.com
Best Regards,
Frank*

*This is a real classified for the sale of Frank’s Delorean. Frank was kind enough to let Todd Terje use the Delorean for his live visuals. Eventually, Frank decided it was time to sell his prized automobile, so in return for his generosity, Terje offered his music and Terje’s collaborator, Espen Friberg (the director who made the 'Leisure Suit Preben' video) offered to make him video to help him sell it. The result is this bizarre advertisement/music video, which is currently sitting somewhere on Norway’s Craigslist. The email address above is real. SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE.

Watch the surreal clip below, and perhaps put in a bid for a Todd Terje-endorsed Delorean if you're feeling flush like Mr. Monopoly.

Todd Terje's It's Album Time is out now on Olsen.
