Certainly different. Looks loads better for having a wash and brush up

Very impressive, being plastic is an advantage sometimes then! (as well as not denting)

Nice. I could imagine that with a nice jet engine in place of the 1/3bhp electric one.
Like
THIS for example.

1/3hp? I regularly fit swimming pool pumps that make more power than that!..
Looks like fun pal - enjoy it

They were assembled at the Hoover factory in Cambuslang, Scotland.
The factory had a large canteen and I remember hearing that there was trouble cause by some people racing C5's round it

Surely that was the electric trike equivalent of the new car PDI and "road" test?

I don't know about PDI as I heard it was more like Ben Hur and the silent death.

It had been stood in a barn since 1988 and had seen very little use but was complete. I collected it a couple of weeks after laying down a deposit and got straight down to cleaning it (took a while). I pedalled it around for a couple of days before getting a battery for it. I wasn't really expecting the electrics to work but they did! It even came with all the original paperwork (which came through the post along with the keys a couple of days after I collected the C5, only expecting the keys, I ripped the envelope open ripping all the original paperwork about 1/4 way down :'( so all of it is now held together with sellotape.), toolkit, charger and quality assurance sticker
