Author Topic: SOLD Sinclair C5 for sale in Crawley £445 (Read 3821 times)

Recently repatriated from Rotterdam, a very nice Sinclair C5 complete with mirrors and a 3speed Sturmey Archer gear conversion. Also benefits from having a new C5alive wiring kit fitted, so any 12v car/leisure battery that fits in the allocated space can be used.

This C5 is in a very clean original condition, it hasn't been restored because it didn't need it

Just cleaned up and checked over

It does still have some parts of the Netherlands "pedelec" kit fitted (explained elsewhere in the forum) , but the main wiring has been restored to original Sinclair spec.

A very smart ,and quite unique, c5 that I'm tempted to keep for myself !

£445 , delivery possible for cost of fuel (return journey).

Just to clarify (and in response to a few enquiries) this c5 didn't get restored because it was in such a good condition when I received it. Apart from a thorough clean it didn't need the chassis shotblasted etc . , leaving it original seemed the best option. It even has the original side stripes

The 3-speed gear conversion is for the pedals only and has been done very well. As those of us who went on the Zutphen trip can testify - there is nothing wrong with Dutch technology or engineering ability

Having fitted a c5alive wiring kit I had to disconnect the Netherlands pedelec stuff to prevent any potential conflict and preserve the reliability. I'm sure ,with a bit of thought, it could be reinstated if necessary but the pedelec stuff is not required for use in the UK.

When you consider how much a good set of mirrors sell for, combined with the cost of a good 3-speed conversion, then this c5 is a bit of a bargain if I say so myself
