Hi all, Incidentally, there is gentleman who lives in the next village to me (about 1 mile away) who used to make and supply hinges for our DeLoreans. He ewventually lost a lot of money because the government never paid him the full amount he was owed before they pulled the plug. He said it was the only time in his entire business career that he ever lost any money. However, in spite of this, he thought the car itself was "absolutely beautiful" and that he would love to own one! We agreed to meet up for a more in depth chat about the subject sometime soon. Could make an interesting article in our DMC News? Regards, Phil Peters VIN #4400 - sitting on a ramp in the garage
