Splitting DMC-12 from De Lorean

If we're going to go this separate pages route (probably advisable, given the amount of data) we should move car information largely out of the De Lorean article and make it more about the company and less about the product. —Morven 07:27, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Once I get the core of the DMC-12 page done, I'll start moving data from the De Lorean page over. Thanks for keeping an eye on things! --Milkmandan 07:33, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)

Update: I'm pretty much finished moving information from the De Lorean article. I've decided to leave the DMC-12 section intact because it deals with market information relevant to the company. The Today section probably should be moved, but I'm out of energy. In any event, I don't have any more major changes for the article, so it should be safe to blast at for a while. --Milkmandan 09:02, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)

Bibliography vs. Further Reading

There are some books listed under the Bibliography section that are not cited anywhere in the article. Should these books be removed from this section and placed in a new section under "Further Reading"? Expandinglight5 (talk) 04:32, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on Wikipedia:Further_reading#Relation_to_reference_sections, I will move works in the bibliography section not referenced in the article to the Further Reading section. Expandinglight5 (talk) 04:46, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bosch K-Jetronic?

According to the article DeLorean used a Bosch K-Jetronic injection. This is quite remarkable because K-jetronic was used by Citroen in the 'DS 21 à injection electronique' of 1972. Citroen already had the next generation: Bosch L-jetronic in the CX-model of 1975. (My 1981 Lancia Gamma FL also features L-jetronic). So...has anyone a reliable source?
