As mentioned before the car is owned by the Haynes family,David passed away early 2000’s and his son Andrew is now the MD of Haynes of Maidstone,Kents first Ford dealer and also hold a few other franchises in commercial and Agricultural vehicles.Andrew is the Godson of Stirling Moss and David used to race cars and they have quite a nice collection of vehicles based at the Maidstone site.I worked for them for 16 years and saw the collection at an introduction to Haynes when they bought out the company I then worked for in 2000.Later after I purchased my DeLorean I asked If I could see the DeLorean as a comparison,tours had to be booked with only specific managers to chaperone and strictly no photography allowed it never came about,the company was very worried about security of the vehicles and to my mind overly secretive about them.I understand James Espey saw it and believe these are the photos in Chris Parnhams excellent book.If you are a customer of Haynes you might get a peek,as for the general public or DeLorean enthusiasts unfortunately not,they’d never sell them either.
