  John / List,

  I've had very little input apart from lending them my photo achieve. I don't
  have any idea what "slant" it will take, but lets be honest, its very
  difficult to re-visit the events of say 1979-82 and not come up with a load
  of negative stuff, they are the facts, it cost the British Taxpayer 80 odd
  million quid and 3,000+ folk lost their jobs. JZ was filmed and on TV with a
  suitcase full of drugs and was comparing it to gold, just as his company was
  on its last legs. Its difficult to make much of that sound positive.

  That's not to say I don't admire his tenacity and commitment in getting the
  whole show on the road, because I do. I just think he took his eye off the
  ball. At the end of the day a company has to sell its products, pay its
  bills and make money, to keep going.

  20 odd years later, we all end up with a unique motor car (to own or admire)
  that is reliable, cheap to run and comparatively affordable, and it was a
  film star! That's the cars history (and its baggage).

  In years to come, I predict there will be more cars in the UK than the US.
  There is about one car a week being re-imported back into the UK. I know
  of 2 deals agreed this very evening!

  We are getting our very special cars back, and I couldn't be happier.

  And I'm looking forward to the BBC film. You know what they say, "all
  publicity is good publicity"

  I'm not surprised at these comments.
  Chris, how much input did you have into this show? I don't see the
  point in yet another UK DeLorean bashing documentary, where the facts
  are ignored, and other "facts" are invented. Hopefully with your
  input Chris this will be a positive view of the car?
