Matthew Harte, in the UK, who's dad worked in the factory, recently posted these great pictures from a stash in his parents garage (Thanks Matthew)

Dermot (and Matthew),

Thanks for getting these rare, early photos posted here...all of them are great.

I really like seeing bare DeLorean frames in the background of the GKN photo.

At least two can be seen (both upside down) hanging from the gantry cranes
on the Left side and the Right side of the photo, in the background.

And its always great to see photos of the Test Track in its infancy, with only
"sticks" planted around the track, that would eventually become today's forest.

Later,
Rich W.

Dermot/Matthew,
I worked closely with Shaun Harte during his tenure at DeLorean. I occupied an office on the first floor overlooking the site. When Shaun came to work for the company I was booted out to another less spacious accommodation.
About six/eight of us would take the ‘plane to Lotus every two weeks to attend the programme meetings. We did this routine for two years so I got to know Shaun very well. He was one of natures gentlemen.
You know of course that he was the only main board member on site when the Receiver (Sir Kenneth Cork) arrived and he is shown greeting him in Car Crash the documentary.
He went on to lead a pan European sales drive during Receivership and left the company summer of 1982.
I’m still in Northern Ireland if Matthew would like to meet up.
Regards
Nick Sutton

Can't help but wonder looking at all these old photos if one of those cars is mine. It would be so cool to see a shot of ones car on the assembly line.
