I am very pleased with the way these have turned out, both have come together really well 8)
They are both fully finished and ready for use priced at £380 each.
Each of these has had the following work completed ;
Chassis shot blasted, followed by three stage paint process of primer , top coat and lacquer.
Rear chassis "hoop" shot blasted and repainted
Front forks shot blasted and repainted
Front brake caliper shot blasted and repainted
Motor and gearbox assembly dismantled, cleaned and re-greased
New drive belt
New brake cables
New front brake blocks
New decals where needed
New side stripes
Replacement inner tubes (all three wheels)
Front wheel bearings re-greased
Front fork assembly re-greased
Handlebar stem bearings re-greased
The all important C5alive wiring kit fitted.
They are slightly different to each other;
Number 5 has the white boot , Sinclair Vee Rubber tyres and original front headlight decals
Number 6 has the grey boot , Schwalbe tyres and our replacement c5alive decals
As to be expected, each of the bodyshells have some deep scratches in the usual places - front "corners" , underneath and around the seat etc. Overall these are very nice and tidy c5's ready for use, both have a fully working control box and pod. The lights on both are in full working order and both lenses are in a good condition
Battery not included, delivery possible at extra cost of fuel (return journey) email me for details. No warranty or guarantee implied or given as these are now over 26years old.

..not too far from you I'm guessing ?
These are probably the last two I'll be re-furbing for this year. I'll have a go at a couple more next spring I expect.
Karl,
Very nice looking refurbed C5's. They should fetch you some spending money.
