I'm not sure where the "no consecitive VIN" myth stems from, but there is no truth to the assertion that few consecutive VINs were produced. For some real information check out the VIN survey that DMCNews has already done on the DMC production chronology at http://www.dmcnews.com/faq/n_chron.htm The data collected thus far seems to indicate that few if any VINs were skipped during production (with exception of skips between model years as well as some skips incurred during some plant shutdowns, etc). The survey data also casts doubt on the commonly reported figure of 8583 vehicles produced (the stats estimate about 9200 cars manufactured). I wonder where this original figure came from -- does anyone have an original _DMC_ source for this commonly cited number? I'm not interested in non-original sources for the number like DeLorean World, or other publications that are merely re-reporting the figure -- I want to know where the figure _originated_ from.
