John Z, the Delorean and Me: ... Tales from an Insider

John Z, The DeLorean & Me is an insider's view of the longest serving employee, director of purchasing and last CEO of DeLorean Motor Cars in Northern Ireland, author Barrie Wills. -- It is a near history of the DeLorean project with much of the hard work, effort and inspiration contributed by so many written about for the first time. -- It is illustrated by hundreds of photographs, many for the first time, showing why so many employees considered the project the best of their working lives. -- It heralds the record 28 months in which the car was engineered, developed and built, whilst a state of the art factory was designed, built, equipped and staffed in West Belfast at the height of The Troubles. -- It recognizes the pioneering of advanced technology in Europe and the introduction into the UK of simultaneous engineering - now the global norm. -- It introduces the good humour and camaraderie within the project's different nationalities and between its workforce, drawn evenly the Loyalist and Republican factions. -- The fine detail of the receivership and what the receiver called the first sensible business plan he had seen are disclosed.
