Domi,
Not only many new pictures but also documents (subject to copyright and approval) of papers that I thought no longer interested. Also a fresh approach to the writing of the history of the company.I have to tell you that much of the glitter that's in other DeLorean books is not present and in many places the view is very dark.

The book that you will see is not the book that I intended to write - but as I have said many times over the past few days - the facts got in the way.

Hope you will enjoy it when it's published hopefully mid year.

Brilliant.

Space reserved on my bookshelf! Not all books on the subject/car/man are great, but they are all at the very least interesting.

Am hugely looking forward to this...

That reads really well nick, I'm looking forward to this. It will be a factual and very interesting read, taken from a better perspective than some of the other books or articles, being written by someone who was there, involved and experienced it all, rather than a journalist.
Including some old documents and pics would be good. :thumbsup:

During the research for the book I've come across a significant amount of history regarding the plant , the people and Lotus Cars.

In this last category I spent several months researching the Hethel Lotus site where the DeLorean car was designed, developed and tested. Hethel airfield was a USAAF base in world war II.

The attached photograph was taken on the site.

There is significantly more detail in the book.
