I had already been around all the s/hand book stalls on the Friday ( set up day) and bought about 5 De Lorean related books, including one sales brochure (£12) but I must agree they are so few and far between in the Uk that most people have no idea about them. Apart of course they all think they own a bit of it , because of the £90 odd million that we British tax payers put into the project. When I take my car to a local classic car show, its almost embarrassing the way the thing is mobbed, from start to finish, when more traditional British classic cars hardly get looked at.
