Another one from my Rotterdam trip , as advertised in the c5alive "shop" side;











http://www.c5alive.co.uk/ecommerce/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=215&osCsid=38ab4e2a14e0b3ab019878d35556edb6

A recently overhauled "used" c5 up for sale , with the following work completed on it ;

Chassis shot blasted, followed by three stage paint process of primer , top coat and lacquer.

Rear chassis "hoop" shot blasted and repainted

Front forks shot blasted and repainted

Front brake caliper shot blasted and repainted

Motor and gearbox assembly dismantled, cleaned and re-greased

New drive belt

New brake cables

New front brake blocks

New decals on the wheel trims

New side stripes

Replacement inner tubes (all three wheels)

Front wheel bearings re-greased

Front fork assembly re-greased

Handlebar stem bearings re-greased

The all important C5alive wiring kit fitted.

This c5 retains the original headlight decals and Sinclair "Vee Rubber" tyres as I wanted to keep it as original as possible.

As to be expected, the bodyshell has some deep scratches in the usual places - front "corners" , underneath and around the seat etc. Overall this is a nice and tidy c5 ready for use with a fully working control box and pod. Both the lights are in full working order and both lenses are in a good condition


£345

Thanks Chas, like you say they do take a lot of time and effort to get them "just right" but it's always nice to see them back to their former glory  8)

Great job Karl, nicely done!

Might be a nice idea to mail some of these pictures to Simon?
He will definitely like what you did!

This c5 is still up for grabs...

Just out of interest I am off to Newport (South Wales) on Tuesday 16th. So if there's a potential buyer living along the route between Crawley and Newport then free delivery could be arranged  ;D

Hi Dan - yes it is still up for sale at the moment, had a couple of email enquiries but no-one has actually come round to view it yet.

Hi Karl

That's great news - def interested.

It's a bit far for me to just pop down - is it possible to deliver it? I would be happy to pay first seeing as you are a well regarded member.
I'm down in Bristol.

How much would you want as a deposit to hold it?
I can pay the full amount on Monday

I think I spoke to you before about one you had on eBay but the bidding got a bit rich for me.

I'll PM you my mobile number.

Very excited to be potentially becoming a C5 owner!  ;D
Thanks

Dan

Safely delivered ;

..a very pleasant journey as well, surprisingly not a single delay/hold up on the entire round trip ! Sometimes the motorway network does work as well as it should  ;D

As for this c5, history did indeed repeat itself. Having sat for sale for a number of weeks, once it sold I received four more enquires for it  :D
