The Sinclair ZX80, released almost 30 years ago back in 1980, was the first truly affordable home computer to hit the UK market. It was sold in kit form, which -yes- means it had to be assembled by its user, sold for a then respectable 99.9£ and you can find all there is to it over at Old-Computers or Planet Sinclair.
These days the ZX80 is as rare a vintage computer as a truly rare ..uhh.. rarity. A boxed one more so. To grab one in its original box & packaging complete with manual and power lead your only chance for quite some time might just be following this ebay boxed Sinclair ZX80 link. Seller ships worldwide.
