Based on th >> Joe,by that I meant that for a one car factory to expect to produce X amount of cars and keep all the workers and the factory going for a startup company was way oversize,fine the property size was good but he should have built a smaller factory to start and see how the "market" would bear his product,and expand on site if it became successful thus avoiding what "really" happened,too many cars for the market to bear to keep the factory going,or at least KEPT the spending down to reasonably minimum until it was profitable,in other words do as Ferrari did,Small factory with a well built car,with a low volume production,and a high price.I know he was under pressure from the British Gov. to produce cars,but that was a big mistake between him and the British gov. to not have more that one type of car produced,or at least a non-gullwing Delorean,and possibly a convertible Delorean.
