delorean testing - Brian morgan - 27 Feb 2014 [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND] Just had this photo of a d given me any idea whats happening Re: delorean testing - Chris Williams - 27 Feb 2014 looks like mine, held together with gaffer tape :lol: I'm sure Chris/Barrie will be able to shed some light. Interesting picture with all those lights around it, does make you wonder what they are doing. Chris Re: delorean testing - Brian morgan - 27 Feb 2014 Given to me by a lady im fitting a kitchen for, out of a collection of her husbands, believes it was taken late 70's Re: delorean testing - marwood82 - 27 Feb 2014 the yellow prototype? http://pjgrady.co.uk/GenericContent.asp ... _Hood.html Re: delorean testing - Brian morgan - 27 Feb 2014 I think its on some sort of test bed Re: delorean testing - Matt Clark - 28 Feb 2014 At a guess - It's a body being prepped for crash testing. These typically involve slow-mo cameras to record it, which require much more light on the subject, which might explain the lights. I think this might be the early underbody crash test you can see with Mike Kimberly and JZD in the Pennebaker doc. In fact the equipment on the rear pontoon matches this stuff from the MIRA crash testing: Re: delorean testing - Brian morgan - 28 Feb 2014 Found another picture apparently her husband worked for a company developing a passive seat restrant which can be seen in this pic. I dont think it worked very well. Re: delorean testing - Chris P - 01 Mar 2014 Brian, Im not sure what other pictures we have of the testing, ( I'm concentrating on editing the words) any chance we could use these in our book if required? Re: delorean testing - Brian morgan - 01 Mar 2014 HI Chris These are the only 2 photos. The company involved in the development of the passive restraint were i think klippan, but as you can see from the second photo the restraint failed. The rig apparently was fired backwards to avoid destroying the car and allowing continuous tests to be carried out. Feel free to use any thing you want. Cheers Brian Re: delorean testing - Chris P - 01 Mar 2014 Thanks very much Brian, just finished writing about the seat belt suppliers!
