Michael EngelFinally got an electric car! 😀
SnoopJ@SnoopJ The poor thing was sitting in storage for thirty years or so, I'll give it a complete overhaul (it needs a new battery in any case as this is missing). I wanted one as a teenager but couldn't afford it... so I had to wait for forty years :).
@me_ as I understand the battery's not an uncommon repair on them anyway because of the age?
Either way, fun restoration project ahead :)
@SnoopJ This was a 12V lead-acid battery which would be defective after four decades, I think. It seems there are replacement LiFeP04 Lithium batteries available.

Mr. Hmpf@phranck It's a Sinclair C5, a three-wheeled electric vehicle (similar to a recumbent bike) designed in 1985 by Sir Clive Sinclair. There's one shown in the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, too.
Miguel Arroz@phranck @me_ You can see one in person (plus a lot of other cool Sinclair and Timex stuff) for free in the Load ZX museum in Portugal! https://loadzx.com/en/
LOAD ZX Spectrum - World's first Museum dedicated to our first personal computer
The LOAD MUSEUM is dedicated to the ZX Spectrum, which was for many Portuguese and foreigners (Spanish, English, etc.) their first personal computer. The Museum also includes many other equipments related to this theme, in a functional state and properly documented, so that it can be enjoyed by the visitors.
Justine SmithiesIf you take an umbrella with you does that make it a cabriolet ? 😜
Peter "Lackaffe" Fröhlich@me_ That is actually a bit cooler than that tired old Delorean a friend of mine has. 🤣 But ... does it work? 😬 Wasn't that always the trouble with Sir Clive? Dare I say "the microdrive capacity keeps increasing until the tape rips itself apart" at this point?
@phf Of course it doesn't 😋 – but there are great manuals and videos on restoring C5s. This will keep me busy for some time in addition to the Lisas, the Mac 512ks... and I think I have a day job, too...
@me_ I guess I finally know who I donate my old Macs to. I think I have a whole stack of LCs somewhere... 🤔 But where???
@phf I think my LC collection is still missing an LC III...
The IKEA Expedit/Kallax shelves are not only useful for storing NeXT Cubes! 😀
