When I first visited Britain in 1985 I saw lots of these around London. I thought they were the most futuristic looking vehicles.

I saw a C5 on the road in Tewkesbury last week. I hadn’t seen one for nearly 40 years, and one appears in my home town.

What does the turbine do? Turn the wheels via a transmission? Charge the battery? Perhaps I missed that part.

Hello down under! You need to tell your fellow countryman Dave from EeVBlog to get on and sort his C5 out!

Great to see about all the C5s, we did a video on the event at the prom and featured them all parked up in that delta formation, huge turnout. Great to see the more Sinclair stuff from. The past, I started out my computing life on a ZX80....

I never quite understood why Sir Clive put the steering where it is, it just seems a more traditional steering position on the "Dash" would have been better, perhaps make it more accepted.

The handle bars are under the knees. This seems strange at first but new riders immediately get on with it and report it to be a natural position for the handle bars

Why the blinkered prejudice against cyclists? When it's just as prevalent among motorists.I cycle,ride and drive and see it regularly along with blocked box junctions and roundabouts etc. not to mention the numbers of drivers texting,eating,drinking,doing make up,reading,watching TV,internet,KZitem,shaving,on the phone,brushing hair,sorting their kids out etc, Let those without sin..................
