Sinclair did get to grips with quite a few of the concerns raised, like changing the "fingers", boot colour,motor windings etc.

Shame they didn't get chance to release properly modified versions like car manufactures do - mark2/3/4/5 etc

If the c5 had been a success imagine which version we would be on by now, 25years later ?

We were in Great Yarmouth today and popped in to see the guy we brought the c5 off of that turned into Goldfinger - while chatting he told us that he used to live in Cambridge and knew Sir Clive's parent's and infact brought the c5 from them !.Could this have been one of Sir Clive's own vehicles !!

Typical British vehicle manufacturer- using the customers as development testers! And we wonder why we make virtually nothing here any more.

After having a load of fun in Voo Doo at MGFeast I have pestered dad into fitting a siren he has had for ages to Goldfinger. Sounds really good :

I got hold of a "METSOUND"   8)  and might fit that to mine, ;) not sure if the battery would cope though, but it would definately be heard    ;D ;D ;D

Don't forget the human sounds that could be heard during a run like:- "I CAN'T STOP, MY BRAKE CABLE HAS SNAPPED !" or something like that  :D

Is this an E bay part, is there a link ??

I am looking to 24 volt mine in the coming weeks, so may need some help with it  ;D

Just found the controller on the net, does it come with the bar grips/ controller or is this a seperate part ??

Hi Plod - the throttle and controllers were separate items - i don't want to recommend them until  i have got them up and running and know they are up to the job -They were done on a budget with Matt's birthday money so time will tell - hope to try and get it going this weekend - if you need any help bud give me a shout as your only just down the road - once i get it sorted your welcome to pop over and see if the set up is suitable for yours. :)

That looks like the same kit Scott got for his "Bluebird" conversion, will be nice to see how it peforms .Could save a few pennies for future 24v conversions  :)
