Title: Wanted: C5 or frame/shell in US
Post by: shadowfax211 on 03, August, 2013 - 17:06:11

I've just discovered the C5 on Youtube, thanks to eevblog. Does anyone know of one in the US? I've searched ebay, craigslist, and a myriad of other sources. I'm looking for one to buy, or someone who has a frame and someone who has a body, so I can build one up if need be. Sorry, but I can't pay hundreds of pounds to have one freighted from across the pond. :( Thank you for helping me out!

..there are a couple of c5's in The States, I've supplied spares to them in the past and there's also one in a microcar museum on your side of the pond.

Not sure how often they come up for sale though  :-\

It will probably be cheaper to buy a complete running one fronm the UK and pay to ship it than to have to acquire all the spares from UK separately( lights, mirrors, for example are very expensive when sold separately) A C5 is about 69" long and 33" wide and about the same height and weight less than 80 lbs so work out the shipping cost from that.
