Talk:DeLorean Motor Company

message: The bit about mesmerizing Thatcher's government is spurious - the deal for the creation of the plant was arranged with the previous Labour government, and entailed heavy government subsidy, something completely at odds with both Thatcherism and capitalism.

message: I just added an image, since two of them showed up at the weekly Garden Grove, California car show.  This one was the more stock of the two.  The other was completely done up as the Back to the Future car, complete with external wiring harness, internal controls, external stuff around the engine compartment, etc.  I believe this is the car that I saw recently sold on eBay.  Couldn't get a photo, though, too many people milling around ... —Morven 02:31, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

As a point of further discussion outside of the move request, I do disagree with Biker Biker on the substance of the discussion.  Just because everyone spells it DeLorean doesn't mean it's the true official name, it's what's on the company record that counts as the official name.  I'll also give that the current incarnation is DeLorean, but the article is about the original company, which was the De Lorean Motor Company. Ctetc2007 (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

text: If you look in the London Gazette and search for DeLorean you see recent records. If you search for De Lorean you see all the records from 1982 relating to the time the company went under. So I have no argument that the official name was "De Lorean", it's just that nobody but the tax man and the insolvency service and companies house refer to it by that name. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move (2011)

message: What evidence is there that the Texan billionaire entrepreneur Steve Wynn is the owner of DMC? According to this article on the BBC News website, "Stephen Wynne" is the owner of DMC, and he's a mechanic from Liverpool, England - you can see him being interviewed in this video (also more recently here, on Fox Business News) where it is claimed he is the "President" of Delorean Motor Company Houston, Texas, and he's clearly from Liverpool, and not Texas. I think this article has its wires crossed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.193.237 (talk) 19:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is attempting to describe two separate companies with the same name. Consequently it is using past tense to refer to the original company, even though the Texas company is operating in the present. The article is also under representing the activities of the Texas company (lobbying for legislation, multiple lawsuits, branches in 5 states, new car production, etc). So it seems prudent to split off a new article about the new company and call it DeLorean Motor Company (Texas). Although the current article call it DMCH; DMC (Texas) is how the company refers to itself on its own website, here. ErieSwiftByrd (talk) 23:28, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Lack of mention of the fraud by John DeLorean, Colin Chapman, and Fred Bushill, is a major deficiency in the article.
