Did you go?  And how did you do?
Just found out, the DeLorean used a chassis designed by Lotus that was 
almost a carbon copy of the Esprit.
And that Lotus used Jensen Healey to test out the 907 engine before using it 
in the Esprit, Elite, Eclat and Excel.  Since the engine is pretty much the 
foundation of any car and carried the Jensen Healey emblem first, if you own 
any of these cars with a 9 series engine, you should be in a Jensen Healey 
club.
Pretty smart, those Lotus guys.
