welcome to c5alive mate & good to see you found your old c5 again. I agree that repainting the bodyshell and new decals would be the way forward  ;)

I have some spare bodyshells up for grabs but I think the cost of transporting them to you may be a bit prohibitive  :o.

@ BooBoo

I would really like to buy a spare bodyshell to paint in a black color with a kind of Tesla- theme (with lightnings) without ruining my Red Arrow shell, but it will be quite expensive, to import it to Arnhem/Holland.
Maybe in future somebody wiil go to Holland by car and be able to take a spare shell with him/her...
...One never knows...

Could it have been this one painted up?

Hello pso-buzz.
I know this picture...
It is a possibility, but my trunk is under (and from the inside) the red paint WHITE (light-grey), not dark-grey, like on the picture...
I think this driver is not a pilot, but a militairy man.
But it is possible..!
Is there a Red Arrow museum, or something? I might ask (scribe to) them...
Thanks for the reaction.

The Red Arrows are based at RAF Scampton.  Might be worth an email to the curator of their on-site museum to see if they can put you in touch with their archivist!

I contacted the RAF and they didn't know my Red Arrow C5...
Just some pictures:



I now Ordered an bicycle alarm (t-one bike alarm) for my C5:

I think it's a very good one. The remote control has an alarm too! (Distance 300 meters) And there is a find-back function... :0)

I found a "Trim-Line"-sticker on the hub of my Sinclair C5.  I found out that it is a company that re-design the looks of cars. I think they gave my Sinclair the Red Arrow color and stickers... :)
Re-making the stickers will cost over 150 euros...
The stickers are of 3M.
I contacted the RAF, and they did not know my Red Arrow C5...
