Wanted - Ready to use C5
« on: 10, September, 2009 - 23:14:47 »
Wanted...  Ready to use C5.  Must be in good condition and appearance.  Must have all the required work done to make it ready for use such as greasing and tyre checks.  Indicators and Wing Mirrors preferable, but not essential.  Any other accessories appreciated.  Most importantly, must either be near Dorset, or if seller is willing to deliver - that'd be fantastic!!

Probably all a tall order, but the day I don't ask is the day one will be sold to someone who wasn't looking for it (if that makes sense)!

Regards,

Mike

You will have to replace the tyres and inner tubes if you bought this one if they are the originals, but looks a nice example, go for it and enjoy the fun.

Just outside Weymouth.  At the heart of the Jurassic Coast!

Hi this one looks pretty good although it is in London
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/sinclair-c5-in-good-woking-order_W0QQitemZ160361563744QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Collectables_Vintage_RL?hash=item25564b4660&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
 

Yes I totally agree.  Problem is, if I were a successful bidder I would have to go and collect it!  I need something which someone would be willing to deliver.  At this time - ironically I cannot drive (on my own)!  I haven't passed my test and I'm 30 next year!!  So although I'm learning and am insured to drive my wife's car with her in it, I would have a baby in the back, and we only have a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 so we wouldn't have anywhere to carry the C5.  In return for delivery, I can obviously pay costs, but perhaps also buy the person a drink or a meal at the local to say thanks and hopefully make friends with a C5 owner!

A little corny I know, but I now have the funds burning a hole in my pocket, so if I don't buy a C5 with it, I'm sure to waste the money on something else like another laptop or waste it on rubbish!  You know how it is.

I'm waffling now aren't I?! ???
Sigh

Some day....

C5 Martin has one for sale on his site:-  http://www.c5martin.co.uk/C5_forsale.htm  or Jason (Red Feather) is selling his, so two great C5's to choose from.
