Then as I suspected that the Delorean pictured at:
http://www.dmcnews.com/Resource/Prototype/prototype.html is a PRE Vin 
number 500 car,as no car came from the factory with sliding 
windows,or Fiberglass front and rear Fiberglass Fascias(and other NON-
Production MAJOR stuff) ,as this Delorean has,and as discribed, it 
has also a non-exopy frame in excellent condition,which means it 
either was in a climate controled garage or it had a Stainless Steel 
Frame under it,for "testing purposes",and as Lotus Engineering was 
the company under contract to do all the engineering aspects on the 
Delorean,you have to come to the conclusion,that this Experimental 
Delorean was one of those Deloreans that escaped being Destroyed,(by 
Lotus)and somehow wound up being sold to the general public,and if 
that is the case I wonder how many more pre-Vin number 500 cars(or 
Lotus/Delorean "Experimental cars") are out there.Again if anybody 
knows the whereabouts of that car,please let the list know,for 
historic reasons.
