The Delorean engine and transmission are both Renault and from France. The
underbody was the only item produced at the factory in Belfast. The
stainless panels are British steel and were pressed in Ireland. The
underbody was designed by Lotus in Norfolk. The chassis was again Lotus
design and built in the Midlands, UK.

As far as I know nothing came from Canada and certainly had nothing to do
with Bricklin though I do believe there were 1 or 2 guys who worked on the
Bricklin also worked on the DMC. Allot of the heating and A/C was sourced in
the USA but not much else
