Lotus Cars and the Sinclair Buyout That Nearly Happened

[@andrewhickton3189]

One of the guys I worked with was doing a tour of duty in Ireland at the time that Delorean folded. He claimed that quite a few cars were buried as a form of disposal.

The history of some famous computers and cars all in one episode, what's not to like? Great episode for fans of the Baron of Beef man himself.

Top researching Oscar, nice one!

Clive was a genius and legend in electronics and early microcomputers in particular - but he was a terrible businessman

Bit like Doc Brown lol

The video I featured is worth a watch. Gives a good explanation of where it went wrong for the C5

[@paulchisholm9392]

A bit of a rogue as well. The book 'Sinclair and the sunrise technology' is worth a read.

Interesting and so many other questions regarding CC who allegedly, had he not died, would apparently be doing considerable porridge😮

[@oscarsgarage447]

10 years I believe was the suggestion from the judge on the Financial Directors case...

Good to have a brief chat this morning at lime kiln

[@oscarsgarage447]

Great to meet you too!

[@adrianrowden8266]

Thanks Oscar for answering a question no one was asking. 😊. Nevertheless very interesting.

[@oscarsgarage447]

My pleasure 😊

Oscar have you heard of a con man called "tyler delorean"? His real name is Ben Granger and he goes round pretending to be the long lost son of John Delorean, its a hilarious thing to research which includes Mike Brewer (who got royally annoyed about it) and the London High Court which then included him escaping to Bali The reason I bring it up is he recently lost a court case over using Delorean branding and is now calling himself "Tyler Sinclair" and using Sinclair branding 🤣

[@oscarsgarage447]

I had come across him in his DeLorean days (why did no one think of gull wing Reliants before) and researching this one he reappeared with his latest 'evolution'...
