I know Alistair is an avid Guardian reader, I think that article is pretty good, mentions the previous PR stunt too, and then this quote from DMCH: "A number of hurdles exist before production can begin, and we’re still early on in this process of determining the feasibility of moving forward.”

Nice get out clause ;) Why announce it before determining if it's feasible.

Because, PR

If this is the case, what possible gain can he get from this PR stunt??? That people are gonna suddenly buy Delorean parts from him???

Yes, this.

"Dear Mr Prospective buyer, yes we will have new cars available in 2017 for $100k, but we can get you in this identical totally refurbished model today for only $57k"


Interestingly there were two nice cars at a Barrett Jackson auction this week, one with 12k miles and the other with about 7k. From the pictures, they looked very similar in condition. The 12k mile one sold on Monday for about $28k and the 7k one sold on Tuesday (the day of the big announcement) for $63k

:mrgreen:

No word on whether the seller of the second one was a Mr. S Wynne or a Mr. J Espey :)

(actually it wasn't, but the seller must have been very, very grateful to them for the timing)

I'm nitpicking here but does the door fail to open properly at the start there? Seems to only open on the rear catch first....
