The DeLorean Story: The car, the people, the scandal | Nick Sutton
2 posts
This is the inside story of the DeLorean saga written by a senior manager who worked with the company from beginning to end and saw it all. The short life of the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car a vision of the future with its gullwing doors and stainless steel body began after John DeLorean secured financial backing from the British government for his car-making venture in Northern Ireland. Four years and nearly 9,000 cars later the company went bust and DeLorean faced questions about fraud against the British taxpayer, and his big ally, Colin Chapman of Lotus, also drew scrutiny. As an insiders account, this book contains a great deal of new information about the DeLorean scandal.

I‘ve learned so much from my fellow Littens! I‘m trying to become more active, so I‘m using the Libby app to listen to audio books to spur me on.

Tonight I listened to a short story by #NorthernIreland author Glenn Patterson about the DeLorean factory. Did you know DeLoreans were made in #NorthernIreland?

I‘m also using the #WalktoMordor app that I learned about here on Litsy to log my distance. Thanks, lovely friends! (Pic - tonight‘s walk)

Librariana I did NOT know that about DeLoreans! Thank you for sharing this interesting tid bit 😊 And thank you for sharing a picture of your surroundings. Looks lovely with a dash of haunting. 3y
BookishMarginalia What a lovely pic! 3y
Libby1 @Librariana - it‘s an odd story. The British government were trying to stimulate a flagging Northern Ireland economy and gave all kinds of financial incentives to DeLorean to set up his factory here. It sadly went bust quite quickly. I‘m glad you like the picture. 😊 3y
Libby1 Thanks, @BookishMarginalia . I hope you‘re well. ❤️ 3y
Texreader Wow that is interesting! I did not know that! 3y

The history of the DeLorean Motor Company makes interesting reading, after it attracted scandal due to John DeLorean‘s trials for alleged drug-trafficking and embezzlement of government funds granted to build the production site in Belfast, at a time when the Troubles were still very much a thing
