The Sinclair C5, a true oddity released back in 1985, was supposed to be the electric vehicle that would change the way people commuted, help save the environment and bring Sir Clive untold riches. Unfortunately, all it did was spectacularly flop (mainly due to the rather rainy British weather) and drag down its whole ZX Spectrum producing company with it.The C5 has a top speed of roughly 25km/h, a place inside the Manchester Science Museum, a worldwide fan club and the obligatory Wikipedia entry. Even more info can be found at the hallowed Planet Sinclair site.
To grab your very own fully working and in seemingly top condition Sinclair C5 (a truly rare chance apparently) better bid on this Sinclair C5 ebay auction. Seller ships worldwide but guess the UK would be more convenient.
I'd ride that
