  That doesn't square to what I once heard, I understood that loads of engine
  were un-paid for. Just another bit of folk law no doubt.

  I understand Colin Chapman is sharing a house with Lord Lucan in South
  America....honest.....an old chap called Adolph H  does their garden......

  I heard from an old Renault employee that I know through work that
  Renault actually did quite well from the DeLorean deal, although
  little was said about it.

  Apparently a huge number of PRV engines had been paid for by DMC but
  not delivered to the DeLorean project, so Renault kept them when the
  project when tits up then sold them again to other manufactures.

  Also from the many books I read I don't think old Colin Chapman was
  short of a few quid after the DeLorean project.
