Hi there, i have copies of the books about DeLorean and also his biography... not exactly sure about the passage your stating... however there were notes written by John mentioning the build quality... one example... "Our first cars come off the assembly line in March 1981. I has expected them to be bad; I couldn't imagine them being that terrible! Seventy or eighty unfinished models finally had to be taken over to the property fence and parked; nothing else could be done with them. These were the cars our suppliers and our people learned on, our training cars." (This is found on the first paragraph of Chapter 12 in "DeLorean".) PS. Most of the books (Except Stainless Steel Illusion) can be found on amazon for a couple dollars a peice, if you are interested in that sort of thing.
