Perhaps the reason for this choice was that they planned to blame the British government for the DeLorean blunder, making it more worthy of a documentary. >> If there was someone to blame for a "Blunder" it was the man himself (JZD)not the British Goverment,ok maybe a little blame on the British Government for not keeping closer tabs on how the money was spent,but JZD was a General Motors man,and the only thing he knew real good was about making high volume cars,he was trying to run DMC as if it was one of the divisions of General Motors,in other words some body else pays all the bills(British Gov.),no matter what the cost,hence the oversize factory,the Park Ave offices(New York)the overruns in expenses, the over production of cars ect.By the time he realized his "Blunders" it was to late,the British Goverment stopped the supply of cash,unless he could match the next Twenty million the British Goverment was willing to give him,then we all know what happen in L.A. after that.
