The future of motoring purchased

ive had a couple of c5s, (had a brown aggy estate too!) car batteries arent a good idea in general as they arent designed to be run flat then recharged again repeatedly.there are 24v conversions that will reputedly make them do 30+mph.

regs were had to be over 14 years old and be limited to i think 15 mph.

Thanks for the enthusiasm folks!

 

 

I paid £360, my max late bid on an ebay auction. It's about the right price for a running model in good condition, so whilst it isn't a bargain, the fact it was within reasonable travelling distance meant I was happy to pay it.

 

With a bit of fiddling I've managed to wiggle things enough to get the C5 into the boot on all 3 wheels, meaning less damage and no need to remove battery during transit. I'll try and get some proper pictures on Sunday but the weather looks scabby as hell. 

I think you got a good deal there - they are bound to be on the up in value and there are some muppets asking daft money out there!!

With a few tweaks, they seem like fun.

I'd love to get one and just have it parked next to my desk.

This is brilliant, the road test is eagerly awaited...

Superb. Do you have to load software via a portable tape player to get it going?
