Re: [DML] Re: DMC Prototype



Around 1987 I went to the Lotus Factory in Norwich because of my loyalty to
Chapman and the various Lotus I had owned. I was disappointed to be turned
away from the factory as they indicated they had a "special project" in the
works and for security reasons could not let in any unscheduled visitors.
On chance however I did meet up with an employee who worked in the finishing
department. I asked about what might remain from the De Lorean era and he
indicated that there was a substancial amout of tooling from the prototypes
and many test mules and parts in various states of abandonment. I got the
impression that if I had brought a lorry I could have hauled off whatever I
could load. Oh well!

On another note I was told that the body pressing dies were sold to a North
Sea Fisherman to use as weights for fishing nets. Is there any truth to
that?
