Hi all,
It's with great regret (and a bit of pressure from my wife) that I have to put my C5 up for sale in order to fund some home improvements. It's had a full strip down and rebuild including the following items:
- Chassis, forks & rear A frame have been sand blasted and powder coated in their original colours.
- All bearings cleaned, regreased and renewed where necessary.
- All original electrics cleaned, checked and working great.
- New Schwalbe tyres & inner tubes all round.
- New brake cables and front brake blocks.
- Motor & gearbox stripped, cleaned & regreased. New main gearbox bearing fitted.
- Cycle computer fitted for speedo / odo. It's detatchable but it does not obscure the battery LEDs on the pod.
- C5alive wiring kit fitted enabling the use of any car or leisure battery and includes reverse polarity protection.
- C5alive anti-chain bounce off bracket fitted to the tensioner.
- Brand new 18mm drive belt.
- Original Sinclair rear mud flaps.
- Super bright LED headlight and tail light bulbs.
- Lockable boot lid with key included.
- New decals/stickers throughout.
- New chain fitted.
Although my old lead acid battery has finally died a horrible death, the C5 can be demonstrated working using a jump lead from my car or the buyer could bring along a working battery if they want a test-run. It has been driven less than 10 miles since restoration but it drives great.
I documented the restoration on this website in March/April and the link is here:

The price I'm asking is £340 ovno. This is quite a bit less than I ended up spending on this C5 but hey... Story of my life
It's located on the Wirral (Merseyside) so would need to be collected from there as I have no way to transport it.
Any questions then please feel free to drop me a message.
Enough waffle... Here's the pictures
