Hi Tony, Congrats on the purchase of the prototype DMC, it is a really beautiful and important car. I would love to see some pictures of the restoration process, do you think you might create a webpage to document it? I hope you can bring the car over here to Ireland for the 25th Anniversary show in 2006, I would love to see it! I'm sure if and when a major motion picture is made of the DeLorean story (along the same lines as the Tucker movie), your prototype car will play a very important part in it. It is the best (DeLorean- related!) news I've had in a long time that this car has survived all these years, and that it will be properly restored to original condition, and displayed so that all DeLorean owners can have a chance to see it. The very best of luck with the restoration. John Dore, Ireland. Vin 3810. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "lp1121xxx" <LP1121XXX@xxxx> wrote: > > > Hi everyone, sorry to leave you all hanging over the past 24 hrs.
