    Arizona-Snow,
    Actually the ZX80 used the Zilog Z80, the Sinclair C$ used a Ferranti chip.

    Sorry for being a geek, but I am the owner of one of these babies, and you can't help falling in love with them once you've used one!

    Thanks for joining my group. I had never heard of this vehicle, but I found your lens to be very fascinating. The Sinclair C5 looks like a modern concept, not something that was actually put into production a generation ago!

    I had a ride in one about 15 years ago, a quite enjoyable experience actually.

    I remember these things, don't they run on a ZX80 processor, ROFL.

    I don't remember the C5 (and I'm old enough to remember). With gas prices going the way they are, I think the C5 or an updated version of it has possibilities. The limited range and speed may be an issue.
    Nice Lens!

    cool! I don't remember these, but I remember one that I think bets this: The 1971 MTD MudBug... and I still have it! They made them only 2 years 1972 - 1973 (mine is a pre-production prototype that is different from the ones that got sold to the public).

    Anyways, I love 3-wheelers! great lens!

    I liked the "wet one"! Unfortunately, this fantastic vehicle so appropriate for our times would make people feel somewhat nerdy, especially here in Texas where you're only a complete man if you drive a truck. Maybe Seth Godin could come up with a marketing idea for a revival of the Sinclair C5. It sure looks like a purple cow to me - hey, how about painting it in a purple cow design! How remarkable would that be! And then hire some whiz kids (I have a contact if you need one) to get a million views on YouTube...

    This is what we need NOW.

    I don't recall these but for environmental and cost reasons maybe they deserve a second look!
