Yes Marc, you are right about Dusty being a very early body.....A "cave
painting", well actually it was a thick piece of tape stuck under the wiring
loom under the "Fury ashtray" thingy, has the date 29th Jan 81.......the
second day of production!

I have recently been talking to Mike Moore, who was the managing director of
Wooler Hodec" , who did the RHD conversion work, he told me that they
(Woller-Hodec) had a separate Secret contract with the DeLorean factory to
chop up , and part out some new, early cars that had badly formed under
bodies. They just couldn't get the panels to fit properly.
The British press got hold of this story somehow and a version of events
was printed up in the "Daily Mirror"

The only reason that this "diss-assembly was sent to Woolers was because,
cars were regularly going back and forth between the two sites and it was
thought it would be bad for factory moral if it were done in N.I. plant.

I think many of the early cars were like this..

"DUSTY" has a odd looking texture on the rear pontoons.
