When John DeLorean started his own company in 1984, he stated that he 
wanted to build an 'ethical' rear engined sports car. This was 
probably the last time that word would be used when describing his 
company. After setting up base in Northern Ireland, John DeLorean and 
85 million pounds from the British Government developed first a 
hybrid plastic-fiber glass frame, then a steel backboned frame, both 
designed by Lotus. Power came from a Peugeot-Renault-Volvo V6 unit 
putting 130 bhp through the back rubber. Deliveries began in 1981 and 
despite quality control problems, its radical design and state of the 
art gull wing doors created a stir amongst the motoring press. The 
Giorgio Guigiaro-designed body even caught the eye of Hollywood, 
staring as it did in three 'Back to the Future' blockbusters 
alongside Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
