Genuine Barn Find Sinclair C5s (July 2024 Uk)

An excellent find - a pair of rough, but brilliant project C5s!
Found in a real barn, by Netley Marsh (Hampshire).
A very fun evening and wonderful people!
There’s also one more which they are keeping to enjoy.
* one will be for sale *

Amazing - seems like some real history there

[@griceyboy]

Hello there! I’m going to leave the number plates on, as it’s part of their history (and in the original 1989 photo I have ).

Really looking into it you never know original owner wld probably be interested in it

[@poacher9118]

Did they once have the registrations assigned 6R and 8X?

[@griceyboy]

@@poacher9118 hey there. So the family brought them over from Ireland, but I reckon it was just so the boys knew who owned which one.
I’ve asked the old owners and she’s going to ask her aged mother in law to see if she remembers the history.
I’ll post a new video on these tonight, as I just spent 3 hours cleaning them

When did Netley Marsh up and move to Dorset?

[@griceyboy]

@@iwb316 haha, doh - I see it’s Hampshire, I’ll amend that :). Great spot

[@LordClunk]

Those registration numbers are genuine. Were the C5's bought by someone to claim the registrations? Might be worth looking into that.

[@griceyboy]

@@LordClunk hey, I’ll check with the owner (I’ll chase her up), I think they are just ends of old reg plates, for the kids to know which one they owned (just my guess, as that had 4-5 of them back in 1989)…
