Well, another newbie hits the board and I'd like to say hello to you all and warn you that the bombardment of questions will soon begin
.
I live on the Wirral (Merseyside) and I'm currently on the lookout for a C5 as a restoration project.
I was that 12 year old lad, dragging my dad down to the local branch of Rumbelows in 1985 to see the shiny new C5 in the window. How disappointed I was to learn that I was too young to drive it on the roads! The rest of the C5 story is well documented history but it was always there in the back of my mind, a piece of my childhood that never went away. Now I finally have a little time and money on my hands I was looking for a project to get stuck into. Then I saw that recent BBC drama 'Micro Men' (anyone see it?) about the rivalry between Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry. Watching the story of his struggle to get the electric car off the ground I knew I'd found my project!
