I found some photos of a 1980 model Aston Martin prototype that looks extremely similar to the DeLorean AND it even has *gullwing doors* The finish even looks like stainless steel. And to beat all, Mike Loadsby did the initial engineering work on it before he quit to work for DeLorean. Surely this has been mentioned on the DML before? duh? http://www.astonmartins.org/v8/bulldog.htm This is the link to the specific page on the site. Walt Tampa, FL
