Description:John Z, The DeLorean & Me - an insider’s view of the longest serving employee, director of purchasing and last CEO of DeLorean Motor Cars in Northern Ireland - 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 583 photographs, the majority 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 manufactured, whilst a state-of-the-art factory was designed, built, equipped and staffed in West Belfast at the height of The Troubles.It recognises 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 from the Loyalist and Republican factions.It puts the phone taps used by the FBI that illegally entrapped John DeLorean, into context.It expands upon the autobiographies of the receiver, Sir Kenneth Cork, and former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, James Prior, the latter having confirmed a number of crucial political impacts on the project.The fine detail of the receivership and what Cork called ‘the first sensible business plan I have seen’ are disclosed.It highlights what might have been had a restyled Triumph TR8 - rebranded Healey 3500 - been built alongside the DeLorean - rebranded Healey Gullwing.It describes how the bad listener in Margaret Thatcher thwarted that British rescue through her habitual micro-management.It explores the role of Jock Bruce Gardyne, a ‘Thatcherite before Thatcher’, in the project’s downfall as he rose from Telegraph columnist to Economic Secretary to the Treasury.It explains how the inspirational but maverick John Z DeLorean destroyed the very project he created, leaving the people of Northern Ireland behind as the real losers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
