Hi all just picked up number 3, C5. This one I got of ebay (very good price)and its got lots of extras never fitted. It includes both mirrors including plates, front & rear indicators, 65aHr battery, tool kit, horn & mudguards.
POD not working but also given a spare and the motor does drives so we will see. Might sell number 2 as got a few interested friends that are converting to having a C5.

Love that racking...looks good having them all stacked up like that - keeps them safe and damage free 8)
The restoration seems to be coming along nicely as well :)

Really like the racking, and coming along well, looks really good :)

Hi Dave, Any time mate, also have been trying to look at doing a northern run but we are a bit hillier than down south ;D ;D ;D and its hard finding a suitable location, some have mentioned Southport / Blackpool due to long promenades
Lance

Looks a top job mate, really nice looking C5.
