Look what I've just bought!!!!!!

[kamilb1998]

I've always wanted one, and finally one's come up fairly cheap so I bagged it! Its a 1985 Sinclair C5, been stood in a barn since 1988, and will need some work to bring it up to tip-top condition. The purchase of this, does, however mean that the quad's engine won't be getting rebuilt till about December-ish. But with it being fairly cheap I just had to buy it. I've already paid a deposit, and will be picking it up at the end of October. Can't wait!!

Top work! I'm sure these will fetch a small fortune one day.

I drove one back in the day. Not even a wave of nostalgia would make me get in one today. This however http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qb3hT21ThQ ....

I hope it was significantly less that that.

Very cool.
The old mill that used to house Sinclair Radionics is still standing in my home town, St Ives.

Ha dc one a few years, used sporadically 24volt conversion it will do 30. C5 alive is great for the forum and parts. Battery technology is still the major weakness.
