Fw: [DML] Gold DeLorean

["murrayempire" <murrayempire@xxxx>]

I was there when the Gold DeLoreans were build at the plant in Dunmurry .
They hand picked a team of workers from the shopfloor.
A special crib was built just off the shopfloor .
A firm of security guards was employed to protect the project .
All in all it took 2 weeks to build the Gold cars.I can only remember 2 Gold
cars being make there may be have been 3 but I don't think so.
These cars were built 2 years before the plant closed down.So I don't think
they would have left Gold panels
laying around the plant for 2 years.
I was not one of the workers involved in the assembly of the Gold cars.
My wife Eileen was the person who made the Tan seats
for the Gold car.Eileen worked for a firm in Belfast called Trimtec not far
from the DeLorean plant .
They were an English firm with a base in Belfast
Eileen said there were only 5 Tan seats made for the Gold car so there was
one spare seat just in case
Anyone coming to Belfast for Eurofest can go and see were the seats were
made but it is closed down now .
They now make windows on the site
Joe Murray Clock No.1065
The 65th. worker to be employed at the plant.
I have loads more stories like this.So see you @the Eurofest 2001Belfast

> Re the Gold Deloreans, about all I really know is what I READ (like
everyone else) and I have most of the books and magazines that ever referred
to the car. From what I have gleaned from these sources, plus a couple
phone calls, it appears that the two gold versions were built and ended up
in museums.....at the time one of the articles said that it was "required"
that parts be available for all cars.
