Oh wow!

As if I'd get away with buying that though!

Clearly C5's grandpa... no doubt.

Why would anyone want to own an invalid cariage unless one was unfortunate enough to actually need one?.

coverman, you could say that about almost anything that people collect!

I don't think any of us actually "need" a C5 (or more than one!)

I'm just wondering why it has a door, unless it was designed for fat a**e like me

At Ardingly, there were a number of people surprised to see that c5alive existed - they didn't think anyone would be interested in Sinclair c5's (some were rude enough to say we shouldn't bother

).

Along with what Mike says, if it exists then there will be someone who will be fascinated by it. The invalid carriage could even be a nice little earner for renting out to film sets etc
