Рет қаралды 1,333
Күн бұрын18 Sinclair C5s hit the streets of Ipswich on the annual road run to Felixstowe, a route of 13 miles. This year we had a couple of special C5s in attendance - a gas turbine powered C5, and an original Team Lotus (black JPS branded) Sinclair C5 which was used by Elio de Angelis in the pits at Silverstone in 1985.
This annual event is organised by the Ipswich Transport Museum. Entries are open from the New Year, and the Sinclair C5s organise themselves via the "Sinclair C5 Owners" Facebook forum.

Gas turbine C5 sounds awesome when it’s not moving .

When I first visited Britain in 1985 I saw lots of these around London. I thought they were the most futuristic looking vehicles.

Fantastic stuff! That gas turbine is nuts! A brave man sits right on top of a motor doing 100k rpm 😆

I saw a C5 on the road in Tewkesbury last week. I hadn’t seen one for nearly 40 years, and one appears in my home town.

Great to see about all the C5s, we did a video on the event at the prom and featured them all parked up in that delta formation, huge turnout. Great to see the more Sinclair stuff from. The past, I started out my computing life on a ZX80....

At least 4 of them ran a red there, and the last of the group was lucky not to have hit the lady crossing the road ! Poor show :(
