Hi,
I'm a new C5 owner, and Ive restored it already. Here's my C5 story: -
So I bought a Sinclair C5 from my neighbor !
Dirty and unused for many years, but I'd always wanted one and this was cheap !!
It didn't take long to take it to pieces !!
A nice simple chassis under the plastic shell. The tyres were shredded, but basically it was all good.
There was no way I was going to turn on the electrics on until I'd checked them out properly.
Lots of plastic but also some real nice touches. Look at the neat little drum brake ...
There is some rust on the frame, but nothing that can't be fixed.
Here's the first test of the motor.... Good news, it worked after freeing it off.
... and the rest of the electronics worked too after replacing the voltage regulator !
That's better
With some new tyres and a repainted frame
Its time to start re-assembly
And here you go - Done and working
. Not me driving BTW.
And for the record
Anyone else in the East midlands ? I can arrange a meet at a disused airfield, with good runways
