John,

I think your interpretation of events is a bit "over simplified", if you
read ALL the books available on the subject, and were around at the time,
following events from this side of the Atlantic, you may have come to a more
"balanced" view of events.
Very few people who worked at the factory think it all failed simply because
of some government inspired conspiracy.

I think it has been established that the moulds were sent to a scrap yard
( in the normal way if a company goes bust and everything has to cleared
out) then when the fishing people came along looking for big heavy chunks on
metal to weight their nets, hay presto...they bought them. ....no
conspiracy..just normal business practice.

Poor financial control, and over-optimistic sales predictions are hardly
ever mentioned as important factors in the companies demise.

Whatever your take on past events is, the fact remains that had the factory
survived and prospered, and produced many more cars, then our few remaining
one's would not be as rare, desirable and collectable as they undoubtedly
are.

I love the car and the notoriety that surrounds it.

BTW....BTTF 1 was shown last night in the UK ( again) and has anyone ever
noticed that when the car first "flies off" it has 3 amber door lights, but
when it lands later some of them turned red.

Chris P..... England ( personal view).
