** now sold ** 1991 El Trans A/S mini-el for sale
« on: 15, November, 2009 - 19:09:50 »
I've made the decision to sell my other electric trike - the "mini-el".

There is another thread on here that covers the restoration;
http://c5alive.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=292.0

The mini-el will be sold complete with its professionally (custom) made trailer and waterproof cover as shown in the pictures to follow. Also included are some essential spare parts purchased during the restoration in case I needed them later on - new inner tubes,drive belt & shock absorbers.

For those that aren't aware, this mini-el was previously owned by Maurice Gibb of the Beegees so has a bit of unique history to it  8)

It is MoT'd and taxed until late next year (road tax is free).

















I'm not after a quick sale so will hold out for a decent price - open to sensible offers though  ;)

Email me if interested

I know its an old cliche, but this really is a reluctant half hearted sale - I wont be the least bit disappointed if it doesn't get sold  ;D

Whoever buys it isn't just buying a mini-el, but a whole new hobby - its the mini-el that got me access to the Ardingly and Amberley shows (there wasn't much interest in Sinclair c5's at the time  :o).

It also gets you access to the BVS events , which seem to be "on the up".

If driving about in it doesn't get you enough attention, attending the shows with it certainly will  8)

Also makes a perfect mobile advert for any business/website that need some publicity - worked for c5alive  :-*

I've got a couple of other projects on the go now, so I'll be making more of an effort to get my mini-el sold. I need the space, the funds would come in handy, and I want to concentrate my efforts on c5alive.

So, I'll be happy to haggle with anyone who has the cash. If you can help by advertising this at where you work etc I'd be most obliged  8)

I'll be placing adverts on Gumtree, local newsagents etc before it goes on Ebay.

You're not wrong mate, it was such a buzz getting the mini-el back up and running and fully road legal. But, with c5alive growing bigger and getting better I just don't have the spare time and space for a second hobby.

Hi Chas - yes mate, I have opened a dispute with Ebay to retrieve my "final valuation fees" etc. The cheeky sods at Ebay wouldn't allow me to relist the mini-el until the fees were paid  >:( , just so that they can be refunded ? ::)

I know when a dirty rotter did this to me, e-bay didn't charge the final seller's fee, but I did have to pay the relisting fee as e-bay said that's between me and the non-payer, so I was £14.00 out of pocket and after sending loads of e-mails, his wife just kept replying saying they couldn't afford to pay me till next month, then the next month and so on, so in the end I told them to get lost (putting it nicely) Sorry to hear this Karl, but this happens all to often, e-bay needs to remove non paying people.
