Re: [doc] Delorean Proto 1 - an update

["colmnugent" <colm.nugent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just had an e-mail from the head of the Heritage Lottery Fund 
in Northern Ireland who has just heard about the car and seen the 
eBay post.  he is going to try to get emergency fiance to make a bid 
and I've urged him to contact the seller before bidding.  He does 
not hold out much hope of getting the authorisation at such short 
notice.  I passed on the earlier sugegstion of a delorean toruist 
attraction and he was genuinely enthusiastic.  

It will probably still be bought by to John R Huckleburger III for 
his son to play with....

Regards

Colm
