Certainly did, that was the first proper Sinclair stand I've ever seen for sale (since 2006 at least..). Could be a useful template for a couple of reproduction runs , but probably best put to use at c5alive displays at Brooklands and other venues.

I prefer to use a Black and Decker workmate when beating the c5's into submission.... ;D

I originally got this purely for use as a display item, my plan is to put "half-pint" on it at car shows etc....

...but it is really useful and came in very handy during a recent restoration project, especially when fitting brake cables & side stripes.

When combined with a black and decker workmate you've literally got all the angles covered  8)

Will it fold down small enough to fit it the C5 footwells, because it would be very useful on the C5 runs.  :D
