224.0. "SINCLAIR" by NYEM1::MILBERG (Barry Milberg) Fri Jul 08 1988 04:05

    A previous reply reminded me of the Sinclair and I wondered why
    there were no notes on it....so I'm starting one.
    
    Did anyone actually buy one?
    
    What were your experiences?
    
    Are parts still available?
    
    What are they selling for these days - did they become 'collectibles'?
    
    (I know of one here in the US and almost bought it...may still!)

224.4	Slippery C5 special.	SUBURB::SAXBYM	Really Manic Information Centre	`Fri Oct 19 1990 16:08`	11
	Seen on Tomorrow's World yesterday. A 70 (ish) MPH C5! This was built to take some electric vehicle LSR, but the motors failed (perhaps it was waiting to go onto spin cycle! :^) at the start and it could only coast over the recorded distance to give a speed just 1mph below that required to take the record.
