[DML] Re: Parts Origin




Hello Fil!


My car and I (#6232) recently celebrated our first year together (a
marriage made in car heaven)and it's taken me this long to get to >know "her" a little, VERY little.

I was just wondering how many countries
contributed parts to the DeLorean. Like the engine, is it French or
Swedish?
Both! The PRV engine was manufactured in France (Douvrin) and the factory is a consortium of PEUGEOT - RENAULT - VOLVO hence the PRV abbreviation.


My NCT tires are German but how 'bout the leather on the
seats, Corinthian leather or English?

The leather seats are made by Trimtech in England, and the leather is real.



Please let me know what parts
came from which country.

The DeLorean's fuel tank was made by DYNO INDUSTRIES in NORWAY!





I'm just curious and perhaps someone else on
the list is as well. John Z. DeLorean is an American but how about the
car? Is it truly British? Thanks in advance. Fil Vigil, San Diego.


The DeLorean is a multicultural car! A truly a UNITED NATIONS representative! It was conceived in Italy. It is of both European and American heritage. "DeLorean" certainly has a French cling to it. But DeLorean himself is an American citizen.The DeLorean's soul is most certainly Irish. The company was American, but the factory was in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and therefore part of Great Britain. Nearly all the bits and pieces in the DeLorean are from England. England gave lots of millions to build the car, and that was well-spent money. Now, had the Government given DeLorean a few more millions the company would have survived. Instead of recouping their investment, they forced DeLorean into bankruptcy and they lost a considerable amount of money. The tragedy of it all was the loss of the workforce...

Best wishes
