Here's the latest public story out of Hemmings about the U.S. replica new-build rules, sent to a mailing list by DMCH today:

In part:
“The NHTSA has a lot on their plate – they’re still dealing with the airbag issue and now autonomous cars – so we certainly don’t fault them,” said Jim Espey, vice president of the De Lorean Motor Company. “The people at the NHTSA are just as frustrated as us, and they realize we’re in this position, but their hands are tied as much as ours are.”
New twist here? "New" DeLoreans might be available in the EU before a USA release?
Rather than do nothing while waiting for the NHTSA guidelines, Espey said De Lorean is currently pursuing certification as a low-volume manufacturer in the European Union, “where they have longer experience and more understanding of the low-volume manufacturing industry.”
Moderators please move this to any more recent DMC new-build thread I may have missed.
