N-gated Hacker NewsAh, the Sinclair C5—a testament to the 1980s' tech optimism and proof that engineers shouldn't design bicycles 🚲. Restoring this relic is like trying to make your grandma's rotary phone run on 5G 📞. Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, #Mastodon is still fighting the good fight against JavaScript, one browser tab at a time 😂.

Attached: 2 images Some background on the Sinclair C5, I saw this listed on eBay in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, going through the pictures, it was probably the cheapest complete C5 I have seen, obviously, I bought it I was lucky enough to be able to go pick it up that very evening, only to discover not only was it complete, it was in fantastic condition; it's current owner got it from new in 1988 for £140 from Comet electrical in Sheffield (original receipt was included in the paperwork), obviously the C5 originally sold for £399 in 1985 and Sinclair Vehicles went bust within 6 months so this was probably a desperate attempt to clear remaining stock, the C5 was developed in Cambridge (completely flat), and with the current owner being in South Yorkshire (VERY hilly), unsurprisingly it saw limited use, before being put in a garage for nearly 40 years until I came along It was just dirty with a few fairly minimal scratches and some damage to the lower reflective trim (understandable), there was no battery, which is not a problem as it only needs a 12v lead acid battery and the original would be long dead by now anyway, but it did have it's original charger, which is nice even if I'm not sure what I can actually do with it #sinclair #sinclairc5 #c5 #VintageTechnology
