Hi
My name is Jason Himpson and i'm a C5 owner, there i admitted it, though i'm amongst fellow addicts !!
I've owned my one since March 08, i've known a certain c515mph for a few years and it is he that i have to blame for wanting and then owning one.
Mine came off Ebay and hasn't run for over 20 years, the previous ( 1st) owner ordered it after attending the Ally Pally launch and used it for his cycle hire shop in Cambridge. He intended to sell them as well as hire others but the panning they got from the media made him not bother with them.
With it came a huge folder ful of press cuttings of him plus loads of Sinclair stuff, it's number 140 and at present is stripped right down as i'm rebuilding it.
As bought, it came with a few spares too.
Now stripped, the frame was sand blasted,primed and then painted Ford Dove Grey.
All the various items purchased mostly off Karl, thanks mate. As you can see a steel wheel is to be fitted so as to help with braking.
