It was designed and managed by Gerald Mooney, of Brodie & Hawthorn Architects of <a href="/wiki/Belfast" title="Belfast">Belfast</a>, and constructed in 16 months by Farrans, McLaughlin & Harvey. A test/proving track was also constructed next to the factory. Officially known as DMCL (DeLorean Motor Cars, Ltd.), the facility was located in The Cutts in <a href="/wiki/Dunmurry" title="Dunmurry">Dunmurry</a>, a suburb on the south-western edge of Belfast. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Manufacturing" title="Manufacturing">Unit production</a> was scheduled to begin in 1979, but engineering delays and budget overruns caused the <a href="/wiki/Assembly_line" title="Assembly line">assembly lines</a> to start only in early 1981. Workers at the factory were generally inexperienced; many never had jobs before joining DMC. This may have contributed to the reported <a href="/wiki/Quality_assurance" title="Quality assurance">quality issues</a> attributed to the early production vehicles and the subsequent establishment of Quality Assurance Centers (QAC) located at various delivery locations. QACs were set up in <a href="/wiki/California" title="California">California</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_Jersey" title="New Jersey">New Jersey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michigan" title="Michigan">Michigan</a> where some of the quality issues were to be addressed and resolved before delivery to <a href="/wiki/Car_dealership" title="Car dealership">dealerships</a>. Some of the issues related to the fitting of body panels, higher-output <a href="/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)" title="Alternator (automotive)">alternators</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gullwing_door" class="mw-redirect" title="Gullwing door">gullwing door</a> adjustments. </p><p>The combined efforts of quality assurance improvements at the factory and the post-production <a href="/wiki/Quality_assurance" title="Quality assurance">quality assurance</a> done at the QACs were generally successful, although workmanship complaints still occasionally arose; the 1981 DeLoreans were delivered with a 12-month, 12,000 mi (19,000 km) <a href="/wiki/Warranty" title="Warranty">warranty</a>. By 1982, improvements in components and the more experienced workforce meant that production quality was vastly improved. Disputes between dealerships and customers arose later because many dealerships refused to do warranty work because they were not reimbursed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Downturn_and_bankruptcy">Downturn and bankruptcy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DeLorean_Motor_Company&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Downturn and bankruptcy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The lack of demand, <a href="/wiki/Cost_overrun" title="Cost overrun">cost overruns</a>, and unfavorable exchange rates began to take their toll on DMC's cash flow in late 1981. The company had estimated its break-even point to be between 10,000 and 12,000 units, but sales were only around 6,000. In response to the income shortfall, a restructuring plan was devised where a new "DeLorean Motors Holding Company" would be formed, which in turn would have become corporate parent to DMC and each of its subsidiaries: DeLorean Motor Cars Limited (manufacturer), DeLorean Motor Cars of America (distributor in the U.S.) and DeLorean Research Partnership (a research and development company). In January 1982, due to <a href="/wiki/United_States_Securities_and_Exchange_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Securities and Exchange Commission">United States Securities and Exchange Commission</a> questions about the company's viability, the company was forced to cancel the stock issue for the holding company that DeLorean had hoped would raise about $27 million. </p><p>John DeLorean lobbied the British Government for aid, but was refused unless he was able to find a matching amount from other investors. What followed is a matter of debate between the British Government, the US <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a> (FBI), the <a href="/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration" title="Drug Enforcement Administration">Drug Enforcement Administration</a> (DEA), DeLorean, his investors, and the US court system. At some point in 1982, John DeLorean became the target of an FBI <a href="/wiki/Sting_operation" title="Sting operation">sting operation</a> designed to arrest drug traffickers. He was arrested in October 1982 and charged with conspiring to smuggle $24 million worth of cocaine into the US. The key element of evidence for the prosecution was a videotape showing DeLorean discussing the drugs deal with undercover FBI agents Benedict (Ben) Tisa and West, although DeLorean's attorney <a href="/wiki/Howard_Weitzman" title="Howard Weitzman">Howard Weitzman</a> successfully demonstrated to the court that he was coerced into participation in the deal by the agents who initially approached him as legitimate investors. He was acquitted of all charges, but his reputation was forever tarnished. After his trial and subsequent acquittal, DeLorean quipped, "Would you buy a used car from me?" </p><p>In the end, sufficient funds could not be raised to keep the company alive. DMC went bankrupt in 1982, taking with it 2,500 jobs and over $100 million in investments. The British Government attempted to revive some usable remnants of the manufacturing facility without success, and the Dunmurry factory was closed. DeLorean himself retired in <a href="/wiki/New_Jersey" title="New Jersey">New Jersey</a>, and the dream with which he had mesmerized Britain's Labour government, of industry rising out of the ashes of <a href="/wiki/The_Troubles" title="The Troubles">The Troubles</a> in <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>, was shattered. He claimed that the DMCL was deliberately closed for political reasons, and at the time of closing was a solidly viable company with millions of dollars in the bank and two years of dealer orders on the books. </p><p>Approximately 9,000 cars were made between January 1981 and December 1982, although actual production figures are unclear and estimates differ. Some of the cars manufactured in 1982, but not shipped to the states (as the US arm of DMC had no money to 'buy' the cars from the factory in Northern Ireland), with 15XXX and 16XXX Vehicle Identification Numbers are actually 1982 models that were given later VINs, dated 1983, by Consolidated International (now known as <a href="/wiki/Big_Lots" title="Big Lots">Big Lots</a>), a company that had a buyback program with DMC and had bought out the remaining unsold cars and also the inventory of unused parts left in the factory after the bankruptcy. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Irish_folklore"

only car produced by DMC. Reception was mixed. Although the early vehicles had impressive waiting lists of prospective buyers, the MSRP of $25,000 (equivalent to approximately $70,000 in 2019) was prohibitive for most of the market—especially for what many considered an under-powered and impractical plaything.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch"><span title="The material near this tag may use weasel words or too-vague attribution.

Frankly, that's not quick for a sports/GT car in this price category." The stainless steel body panels were attractive and impervious to corrosion, but the sheen surface tended to show fingerprints and meant the car could not be easily painted; every DeLorean looked identical. Some dealerships painted their cars to make them distinctive. DMC tested translucent paint for different color options while allowing the stainless steel grain to show through, but no cars were sold with factory painted body panels. The only factory option initially available was automatic transmission. A grey interior was offered later in 1981 as an alternative to the standard black. Accessories such as pinstriping and luggage racks provided further individuality.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A DeLorean was prominently featured in the 1985 film <i><a href="/wiki/Back_to_the_Future" title="Back to the Future">Back to the Future</a></i> and its two sequels, in which it was converted into a <a href="/wiki/Time_travel" title="Time travel">time machine</a>.
