Mirrors are very sought after and I'd expect these boxed ones to fetch something in the region of £100. Pity really because I would have liked a set myself!

The mirrors really look good on a C5, But they do go for a lot of money, depends how much you want them.

The pair i got from Adam  were just a bit less than  half that price, but Adams not about at the moment, so those who want them have to pay the price !   :'(

what parts as adam got and were as he gone ?

Adam Harper took over "Sinclair Vehicles" after it went out of business back in the 80's. He essentially had a warehouse full of boxed c5's and all the spares and accessories. Although his supplies have gradually reduced over the years he is still the main man for all those genuine "new" old stock goodies  :).
He did appear at a couple of c5alive events and sold some items to us at reduced rates (which was very nice  8)) but sadly he had to take some time out for personal reasons.
No idea when (if) he intends to return  ???

I'm guessing the reasons for such a long absence must be pretty serious and I wish him well, but I can't help thinking he must have made a firm decision not so sell any of his stock. Otherwise he could have appointed someone else to manage it on his behalf.
