new website is up for the most part. Needs a bit of fine tuning over the next few weeks when I get a chance.

Bringing everything I have been talking about into one easy to find spot. Stay tuned for more info. I will start pulling posts together covering everything discussed in the prior months.

I'm going to try and post here about new parts that we make available. They are always announced in the emailgram we send out periodically, but not everyone gets that or in some cases the contents get forgotten with the passage of time. These first few items have been out for awhile, and may have come from us or one of our dealers.

Matching numbers is a phrase often used in the collector car hobby, but for different people it has different meanings, the definitions of which are beyond the scope of this blog entry.

1981 models end in BD00XXXX, and 1982 models end in CD010XXX and CD011XXX.

First, a bit of back story...back in January 1982, when the factory (DMCL) was placed in receivership by...

Exterior Trim

My earlier notes described the history of the DeLorean interior soft trim – the suppliers involved in the manufacturing process their background and technical issues and any associated major events or stories. As a natural progression through the car describing the history as I recall it unfolding the following is a brief resume of my memories of the procurement of parts on the exterior of the vehicle including the front and rear fascias, rubbing strips, rear louvre,...

DeLorean Motor Cars Dunmurry supply base

On the 19th February 1981 Jim Prior Secretary of State for Northern Ireland made a statement to the House of Commons that DeLorean Motor Cars would enter Receivership under the guidance of Sir Kenneth Cork and Paul Shawell leading partners of Cork Gully and Coopers and Lybrand respectively. During the debate that followed his announcement of Receivership a figure of 7,000 jobs at risk was discussed. Given that 2,500 of these were at DeLorean...

This is the original posting on the DMCtalk web site and invite comments from owners,ex empoyees or people who want to know more about the time.

I have just registered to DMC talk.com and as a former employee that was made redundant from the factory in Belfast 26 years next week I'd like to make a few comments about the company and the car.
