Some intresting stuff there Chas - I have always wondered about the Sinclair prototype stuff - I used to work for GM and was involved with a lot of the prototype manufacture but it always got crushed after reaching the next level - good to see some stuff from Sinclair is still about.

Yes you are right when they get want they want the prototypes are just thrown away ...

but as you can see I do have a few items that have been saved ..

Hey my C5 has the smaller rear wheel plate fitted, I never new it was a proto, have another in a tub also spare. I think I will change it over to the bigger one as I didnt realise it was a heat sink. ta for heads up.
