I think you will seriously struggle to find one for £50. Unless you really want a basket case.

ETA: You will need around £300-£400 if you want one that actually works.

I don't mind if it's a wreak. As long as it has peddles and 3 wheels!
Ok I will from £50 to £150. ;)

For £50 that's about as much as a shell and a chassis

Restoring one can often cause you to spend more than you would by buying a functioning example in the first place.

I would like to restore a C5 but not one that's a total wreak

Normally once I have got home from school after 1 hour I start getting bored so I would like a project, and even though it may cost more to restore than a functioning one, some people like doing this sort of thing ;) ;)

Nothing wrong with that at all  8), just get the right one that has all the hard-to-get parts still fitted to it otherwise it does get expensive  :o. Like Kamil says, you could end up spending more than if you'd just got a restored one in the first place.

This nearly always the case, regardless if it's a C5, a car, a house, etc., etc.

If you get one and restore it, that will be another C5 road worthy  :) :)
