I certainly hate to see Tony sell Prototype-1...I personally feel that this predecessor of our cars should stay within the DeLorean family and the prospect that somebody else could buy it and whisk it away and we'd never see it a piece of our history again is saddening. My only hope is that somebody like Mr. Wynne will purchase it and place it in the new DeLorean Museum for all to behold...hell, I'd even be willing to start a fundraising campaign to prevent it from falling into hands outside the community.
