In the documentary film "Start-up," John DeLorean ordered C. K. 
Bennington to start the RHD conversion immediately during a 1980 board 
meeting.
The initial plan would take DMC 12-14 months to start production of the 
RHD car. 
JZD wanted the cars retrofitted at the ports of entry in European markets.
DMC was looking for substantially more sales than that in North America. 
DMC could not support the current overhead with the one car in North America. 
The RHD car was not a matter of something extra, it was a matter of pure 
survival.
