Designed by ecentric technology millionaire, Sir Clive Sinclair, the C5 was designed to take advantage Uk road rules. Designed to not exceed 15 mph (24km/h) and to be driven without a driver's licence.
The C5 was envisioned to help reduce inner-urban road congestion, however, certain aspects of the designed failed to meet customer requirements for weather protection, occupant crash protection and protection from the vehicluar emissions from other road users. The project also suffered from the lack of development in battery technology (still a burden to would-be electric car makers).
Perhaps a vision of the motoring future held by today's Green Lobby (so watch out!).

The Sinclair Research C5 is a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Vehicles Ltd in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. The vehicle is a battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees. Powered operation is possible making it unnecessary for the driver to pedal. Its top speed of 15 miles per hour, is the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence. It is powered by a 200W or 250W motor. It sold for £399 plus £29 for delivery.
It became an object of media and popular ridicule during the 1980s in Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 17,000 units. Sinclair claimed it remained "the best selling electric vehicle" as recently as 2010, although it was overtaken in 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.
Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

Southern Railways: Battle of Britain class, No. 34059 "Sir Archibald Sinclair"
Built in 1947 it was rebuilt in 1960, it was eventually sent for scraped and rescued from Barrys Scrap yard in 1979 without a Tender.
It was not returned to service until 2009. When this picture was taken.
Earlier back in my description of the Illinois part of Route 66, I gave a little bit of detail about the roles of Sinclair Oil Company and Standard Oil Company. I posted Standard Oil Company's mascot Dino, which was found on top of a tire store in Wilmington, but could never find a good picture of Sinclair's emblem until approaching the Tucumucari city limits and finding the Paradise Motel right off the main road. This is from part of the wall of the Paradise Cafe which volunteers painstakingly restored.
I could never figure out why the Sinclair mascot evoked such warm memories in me, until I recently located a picture of me when I was two - hugging a plastic miniature Dino that they used to give away to kids at the gas station!
Inside the ZX Spectrum+ from 1984. The two largest ICs are the Zilog Z80A 8-bit microprocessor and the General Instrument AY-3-8912 sound generator IC. Most of the rest of the ICs are 74 series logic and RAM. The large uncommited logic array (ULA) from Ferranti is just out of picture.
