Sinclair C5 V100050102079 (October 2023) – SOLD
This is the 2079th Sinclair C5 built during January of 1985, an “earlier” model as this has the grey boot which was later changed to white. This C5 is in need of recomissioning and in average to good, original condition. The control box still has its plastic welded seals and the cable ties for the wiring loom appear to be original. There is a small chip to the bottom right of the rear light, a common issue.
If the new owner wishes this can be recomissioned upon sale prior to collection for an additional £360. This includes full motor and gearbox service, tyres and tubes, upgraded drive belt, planetary roller bearing upgrade, brake setup and full bearing clean and grease. I’ll clean up the body and chassis as much as I can too. A new lithium battery and charger can be supplied for an additional £220.
