These photos of my friend Angie's baby kitten, Sinclair, are about three years old now, but they're so adorable and I just remembered about them because someone reblogged this one on Tumblr from the first time I'd uploaded it and I couldn't resist uploading it again along with a couple more.

Sweets Peat & Science Museum on the Somerset Levels has an eclectic collection of 20th century technology.
The Sinclair C5 is a small one-person battery electric vehicle, technically an "electrically assisted pedal cycle". (Although widely described as an "electric car", Sinclair characterised it as a "vehicle, not a car".
It was the culmination of Sir Clive Sinclair's long-running interest in electric vehicles. Sinclair had become one of the UK's best-known millionaires and earned a knighthood on the back of the highly successful Sinclair Research range of home computers in the early 1980s. He now hoped to repeat his success in the electric vehicle market, which he saw as ripe for a new approach.
The C5 emerged from an earlier project to produce a Renault Twizy-style electric car called the C1. After a change in the law prompted by lobbying from bicycle manufacturers, Sinclair developed the C5 as an electrically powered tricycle with a polypropylene body and a chassis designed by Lotus Cars. It was intended to be the first in a series of increasingly ambitious electric vehicles, but in the event the planned development of the followup C10 and C15 electric cars never got further than the drawing board.
On 10 January 1985, the C5 was unveiled at a glitzy launch event but it received a less than enthusiastic reception from the British media. Its sales prospects were blighted by poor reviews and safety concerns expressed by consumer and motoring organisations. The vehicle's limitations – a short range, a maximum speed of only 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), a battery that ran down quickly and a lack of weatherproofing – made it impractical for most people's needs. It was marketed as an alternative to cars and bicycles, but ended up appealing to neither group of owners, and it was not available in shops until several months after its launch. Within three months of the launch, production had been slashed by 90%. Sales never picked up despite Sinclair's optimistic forecasts and production ceased entirely by August 1985. Out of 14,000 C5s made, only 5,000 were sold before its manufacturer, Sinclair Vehicles, went into receivership.
The C5 became known as "one of the great marketing bombs of postwar British industry"[3] and a "notorious ... example of failure".[4] Despite its commercial failure, the C5 went on to become a cult item for collectors. Thousands of unsold C5s were purchased by investors and sold for hugely inflated prices – as much as £5,000, compared to the original retail value of £399. Enthusiasts have established owners' clubs and some have modified their vehicles substantially, adding monster wheels, jet engines and high-powered electric motors to propel their C5s at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).

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).

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
Sir Clive began developement in the 1970's with work on the eletric motor by Chris Curry but the project was shelved as the company concentrated on electronic calculators.
The project was looked at again from 1979 and a change of legistlation in 1983 made the idea a lot more vible and it became a serious project.
As developement cost spiralled Sir Clive sold £12 million of stock in Sinclair Research, to found Sinclair vehicles, Lotus were commissioned to bring on the developement and Hoover at Methyr Tidfil were commissioned to produce the vehicles with the elcric motor coming from Polymer, Italy amid claims that it was to be powered by a washing machine motor.
But the buying public were sceptical, with fears that such a low vehicle was inherently unsafe in traffic, its lack of weather protection and slow speeds for a road vehicle (15 mph)
It was put on sale in 1985 for £399 plus £29 for delivery, it became an object of media and popular ridicule during 1980s 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, though it had been overtaken by 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.

Clive Sinclair was an innovative producer of electronic goods and in the early 1980s he announced a range of electric cars. The first product was called the C5 and was launched in 1985. In fact it was a battery powered tricycle, driven by a 12-volt lead acid battery.
Hoover were contracted to produce the vehicle, incorporating a plastic body, with Sinclair providing the design and marketing. Hoover also provided customer service facilities. The law at that time would have allowed anyone over 14 years of age to drive it, and it required no road tax or M.o.T. A whole range of accessories were envisaged, including special rainwear and a rear mounted pole to improve visibility to other road users. The vehicle was sold through mail order and through outlets such as Eastern Electricity Board shops. It was priced at £399 plus £29 packing and delivery.
The public were unimpressed and few were sold. Thus the Sinclair range came to an abrupt halt. Presented to the Museum by Eastern Electricity in 1995
