Picked up some information that Sir Clive Sinclair tried to by Lotus shortly after the death of its founder and owner Colin Chapman. Could this really be true?

The history of some famous computers and cars all in one episode, what's not to like? Great episode for fans of the Baron of Beef man himself.

One of the guys I worked with was doing a tour of duty in Ireland at the time that Delorean folded. He claimed that quite a few cars were buried as a form of disposal.

Clive was a genius and legend in electronics and early microcomputers in particular - but he was a terrible businessman

The video I featured is worth a watch. Gives a good explanation of where it went wrong for the C5

A bit of a rogue as well. The book 'Sinclair and the sunrise technology' is worth a read.

Interesting and so many other questions regarding CC who allegedly, had he not died, would apparently be doing considerable porridge😮

Oscar have you heard of a con man called "tyler delorean"? His real name is Ben Granger and he goes round pretending to be the long lost son of John Delorean, its a hilarious thing to research which includes Mike Brewer (who got royally annoyed about it) and the London High Court which then included him escaping to Bali The reason I bring it up is he recently lost a court case over using Delorean branding and is now calling himself "Tyler Sinclair" and using Sinclair branding 🤣

I had come across him in his DeLorean days (why did no one think of gull wing Reliants before) and researching this one he reappeared with his latest 'evolution'...

Apparently he was going to show a what happened to wheeler dealers car's, but wanted to rush This video in. I don't mind it being about a 30+ year old story) it's just not very interesting.

@@Mtandy-vm2pt you wouldn’t have missed much on the wheeler dealer video. Normally it’s a quick vehicle check and he says he can’t find the car. Apparently paint watches him dry!
