You said "hence the oversize factory". Based on th >>
Joe,by that I meant that for a one car factory to expect to produce X amount
of cars and keep all the workers and the factory going for a startup company 
was way oversize,fine the property size was good but he should have built a 
smaller factory to start and see how the "market" would bear his product,and 
expand on site 
if it became successful thus avoiding what "really" happened,too many cars 
for the market to bear to keep the factory going,or at least KEPT the 
spending down to reasonably minimum until it was profitable,in other words 
do as Ferrari did,Small factory with a well built car,with a low volume 
production,and a high price.I know he was under pressure from the British 
Gov. to produce cars,but that was a big mistake
between him and the British gov. to not have more that one type of car 
produced,or at least a non-gullwing Delorean,and possibly a convertible 
Delorean.
