I haven't posted for a long time, but I have been asked to restore a C5 which we (Myself, Karl and Marty) made a start on over the easter weekend, I will post some pictures of the progress soon.

A very exciting restoration project indeed :)
-
Can't wait to see the pics :) :)
-
Sounds interesting ... any hints ?
-
I'm sworn to secrecy as well (for now ;))
But it is quite possibly the coolest project we've ever been involved in to date 8)
-
Not to sure what to call this one, but will post a sneaky picture, keep the suspence going for now, but watch this space :)

Any ideas anyone ?

Not giving much away there Andy ;) ;)
-
Will all be revealed on the 14th ?

Why the 14th ?
Retro Andy.
-
It's the Crawley Run :)
-
It's the Sinclair C-5egway!
-
That photo doesn't give much away at all ;) :-\
But I see a very slightly rusty chain. Has this C5 seen water? A C5 boat or a James Bond style submarine? 8) :)
-
Just from underneath it looks like a lot of work ready for the 14th. :-\ :-\
-
I think the photo does give it away. Maybe not the image itself, but perhaps if you check the filename ;)
If so, it'll be fantastic.

Opps Andy ;) ;) ;)
-
Ah yes, the filename, bit of a give-away. Still should be great and looking forward to more pics.
-
Sorry guys the picture has been removed so it can be kept a secret for a little longer, those who might know please keep it under your hats for now (Oops I didn't know you could see the file name) It might be another week before I post all the pictures I have so far.
Happy for more guessing for now.

:-X :-X :-X
-
Maybe it is a Land surfing C5 . Great no batterys just free wind ...????????
-
That's a good idea Chas for when the battery dies, you could get a kite out of the boot and let the wind do the work instead of your legs :)

Gaddamit - I cant bear the suspense!
-
I can't wait to reveal to everyone what we are working on :)
Retro Andy.
-
Didn't see the photo so I'll have to wait. Looking forward to seeing this :D
-

How much longer do we have to wait? :)
Although I think I know what it is, I don't know which colour scheme you're going for, the dark one or the lighter one
(that is, even if requires a colour scheme, or even has a body, or even if I knew anything about it at all) ;)

I think he said the Crawley run on the 14th, but then I could be wrong :-\
-
Sorry, but it will be a couple more weeks as I won't be posting pictures untill its finished, this is a joint decision and when its completed I will post before and after pictures, but for now it can't be revealed what we are working on, so those who may know team C5 Alive asks that its left at that for now, many thanks.
Retro Andy.

:-[ :-X
-
It will be worth the wait guy's - exciting stuff :)
-
God - the suspense is killing me. I've got a few ideas on what I hope it is.
-
Any news on this?
-
..there's lots going on in the background, but I'm not allowed to say ;)
Looks really good though - retroAndy has done an amazing job so far 8)
-
Many thanks Karl, things are coming along nicely and will be finished mid May I reckon :)
Retro Andy.
-
This restoration is all complete and the owner has asked me to bring it along to Brooklands in September to show everyone, so it will be revealed then what we have been working
on. :)
Retro Andy.
-
That would be nice if it was, come along to the Brooklands event and you will find out.
Retro Andy.
-
If you are not coming to Brooklands then sorry, but you will have to wait and see the pictures on the day. :'(
Retro Andy.
-
Two weeks to go ! and counting :) Really looking forward to showing off this C5 for the owner, seeing some old and new faces. Although it's the end of a era with Karl stepping down as owner of C5 Alive, the day should be fantastic.
Retro Andy.
-
One week to go, and to keep you all guessing I will confirm it isn't a Senna C5 :-\
Retro Andy.

Many thanks to Karl for supplying the parts required for the restoration and a very big thank you to Both Karl and Marty for supplying their time also during the rebuild etc :) :) :)
Retro Andy.
-
Now that we've got a spare C5 we were discussing what to do with it earlier and have come up with an idea for a Red Arrow ;) Has that been done before?
-
Very pretty C5!
-
Love the paint job, looks fantastic.
-
Gloss black looks great 8)
