Re: [DML] DeLorean Lawyer News Story

["Brian McCool" <bjmccool@xxxx>]

To my knowledge, Colin Chapman died in December of 1982 and I wasn't aware
that there was any controversy surrounding his death. As far as I know, the
whole situation with the money (if you are meaning the $17 million that it
took awhile for the British auditors to track down) had nothing to do with
Colin Chapman's death. The money in question was finally tracked down in the
late 1980's.
