If I get it, I'll be taking it around Cadwell Park - see what it makes of the Mountain  ;D

How much did it sell for last time?

The jet powered C5 was sold to a C5 enthusiast in France.

I've invited the new owner to bring it over for the C5-25 event, fingers crossed he accepts.

I'd love to have a close up look at the beastie  8)
