Gold FFM Greg | ValetPro Posted August 17, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just started watching this. Quite interesting. Has anyone else watch this? Quote All the Best Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post internets Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yes, it was a BBC production shown back in April and still available on iPlayer. It was not bad and the first time I have seen Christine Ferrare talk about her time married to DeLorean. Also his son Zachary has been giving a few interviews recently including the film ‘Framing John Delorean’ with Alec Baldwin which I think was on Netflix and worth a watch, this past weekend he was also speaking at a DeLorean Convention in Chicago. A few ex Lotus employees were on screen too including Colin Spooner and @Mike Kimberley had a very brief appearance from some factory footage, most of which came from the Pennebaker & Hegedus documentary where they followed John Delorean around filming him and the factory in Belfast https://phfilms.com/films/delorean/ 5 Quote 1982 DeLorean DMC 12 #16327, 1999 Lotus Elise, 1998 Lotus Esprit GT3 #2272, 2011 Lotus Evora S, 2013 Lotus Exige S,2016 Lotus Evora 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked on Netflix here, but should be the same as yours, yes? Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

Bravo73 Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Not necessarily. Different Netflix regions have different content. Unless you have a VPN. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Wasn't bad at all. I don't think Zachary is much on his father. He was adopted?

Vanya Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I think its scary how close Colin Chapman was to destroying/muddying his legacy as a result of this. Even in this documentary he is a hairs breadth away from being framed as a prime suspect. It feels horrible to say, but if his passing hadn't happened when it did, he and his brilliant contributions to Motorsport might have been remembered in an entirely different light.

Gold FFM TomE Posted August 19, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I recorded it when it was on back in April but only watched it last week. I knew the headlines of the story but it was fascinating to learn more of the details. Interesting to hear how loyal the Irish staff seemed to be, even after everything stopped. DeLorean clearly had a lot of industry experience, connections and a bold vision which people mostly believed he could deliver. I agree with Vanya about Colin Chapman's reputation being very close to being tarnished. A great reminder too of what innovative cars they were, and the production methods too. A large group of them attended a Goodwood event many years ago and were quite a sight in convoy driving in and parked up together. I can't find any pictures from that, wonder if anyone has any?
