"Large capacity boot" - shows someone stuffing a single carrier bag into the space.
I've always said that if Mr Sinclair had done the c5 up in bright colours and marketed it as a children's toy, he'd have made an absolute mint on it, and it would probably still be in production today.
With the rising popularity of EBikes, and the proliferation of safe cycling infrastructure, it's really starting to look like Sir Clive was just ahead of his time. Imagine what the world would look like today if these had taken off.
The only insurance you need with this thing is life insurance. Get in a collision and it's game over.
Still looks kinda futuristic even though it's 30 years ago.
"same height as a family car" and shows it next to a mini lol
Rest in peace Sir Clive, you were just too far in front of your time. These with modern tech would have been great.
Brought affordable calculators and home computers to the UK market, and this is what Clive Sinclair is remembered for. When you get it right, no-one remembers. When you get it wrong, no-one forgets.
"plenty of space for your purchases..." YEA if your buying a SINGLE book!
Got one of these for my 13th birthday (shhhhh) when they had been reduced to £200 after Sinclair went bust. Loved it! Even had my CB radio in it :)
Just heard the news of Sir Clive's passing. Those of us who were at the beginning of the home computer were truly blessed. Thank you Sir Clive.
It’s 2021 and I want one of these, obviously with an up-to-date battery!
Oh how I miss the eighties
Love how they bang on about Lotus and aerodynamics..... for a vehicle that does just 15mph.
If it was upscaled a bit for today it would maybe
They even make an American version where you get into the C5 on the left side.
RIP Sinclair,you were 30 years ahead of your time.
So much safety here
I love that with all the “tech”, they had to stick their arm out to signal a lane change! I guess a blinking yellow light was out of scope?
Use it in heavy traffic. Imagine that on the North Circular.
