[DML] Re: Where are the 397 missing first production Deloreans ??

["lhj58w" <editor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A late reply to Marc's topic (thanks to my e-mail being lame). 

The Wooler-Hodec RHD conversions are essentially very early cars with
very early pontoons, frames, interiors, wheels, engines etc. I think
the only later items are the hoods, fascias and possibly the quarter
panels. DMCL also supplied Wooler-Hodec with a list of all the (then)
known updates which were performed on the cars while at Wooler-Hodec.

As to whether or not the Wooler-Hodec RHD conversions are actually
"black cars", for me personally the jury is still out on that one.
Research is in progress and I may have more of a definitive answer on
this in early 2008. Hopefully then we can also update some of the RHD
info on the DeLorean Owners Club UK website as some of it is outdated
or incorrect.

Best wishes,
