photo gallery: factory burgundy interior

2/27/2017

A recent discussion on Facebook mentioned the factory burgundy interior car, so we put together a gallery of photos of this car for all to see and enjoy. Two of our volunteers (James Espey and Sarah Heasty) were able to track down this car a few years ago and spent some of their vacation time in the UK visiting and photographing this car. Take a look for yourself!

DMCL Business meeting minutes

Took some time off from posting this fall in order to document and scan some of the new arrivals - just uploaded five sets of minutes from the DeLorean Motor Company Limited (DMCL) weekly business meetings.

We've seen some others ones of these change hands on eBay the past few months, so if you were one of the lucky ones, please consider sharing a copy with the rest of the DeLorean community! Contact us - we've shown you ours, now show us yours! ;-)

DID YOU SEE US AT THE DELOREAN CONVENTION & SHOW?

We had a great time meeting lots of old and new friends at the Springfield show this last month and want to thank DMC (Midwest) for allowing us to share their space! Most of all, we want to thank those who stopped by to say "hello" and especially those who made a purchase from our available books, shirts, memorabilia and VIN research items! Your support makes this site, and everything on it, available to anyone, anywhere in the world!

In the run-up to the event, we were able to create and upload SIX new galleries (shown above) that were curated especially for DCS attendees! Now these are "live" and you should go and check them out!

Unseen for the last 35+ years, these Polaroid photos of an engineering development car with a "Swiss" door hinge come from The Christopher Bradley Archive.

Informal photos of the chassis and prototype development process at Lotus in 1979-1980 were provided courtesy of Leif Montin!

Also courtesy of Leif Montin are these Polaroid photographs of the Visioneering car at Irvine with prototype tape striping packages applied, and early production cars with development versions of the luggage rack and ski rack fitted!

Finally, several years ago, Bill Collins generously sent a number of photographs from his private collection showing the Giugiaro/ItalDesign epowood styling mockup that was created for John DeLorean in 1975. These photos show the design in its original, unmodified form at ItalDesign, several years before it was modified to reflect the "softening" done by Giugiaro in 1979.
