Sinclair C5 infomercial 1985
« on: 08, June, 2012 - 13:19:39 »
Just posting this here incase anyone hasn't seen it yet  ;D

I stumbled upon this as I was getting ready for work this morning. I always find the advertising / Infomercial stuff for the C5 really interesting to watch :P

Never seen this one before, found it interesting and good to watch, but why do you think the lady with the green jacket uses hand signals when turning when the C5 she is driving has indicators fitted  :) Many thanks for posting it.

I'd be more surprised if the c5's left parked outside the train station would still be there when you got back  ;D

Turning up in a old escort van to a C5 meeting or to repair someone's C5 would look so cool Marty, go on do it  :)
