Sinclair left the table for two minutes and this little monster joined me thinking he was getting scallops for tea! Too funny not to take a photo :)
A Sinclair C5 from 1985 - an early attempt at an electric vehicle - seen at Cockermouth show. Made of durable polypropylene and easy to store in a shed its quite possible there are more of these surving than some of the successful cars of the period. Originally, entering the market at under £400 and failing to sell in numbers, mint boxed versions were valued at up to £5000 a decade later.

F. H. Reeder operated this Sinclair station in Lake City, Michigan. Besides the pumps there is a really nice Mobiloil cabinet, with globe, and Opaline and Pennzoil signage.
A super well preserved Sinclair station. So nice to see it relatively unmuddled.
Found this info for ya...
"Built in Exeter, Nebraska by Charles C. Smith in 1936. The business was leased to Donald and Lillian Johns who operated the station for five years. Mrs. Johns also operated a cafe in the station during that time.
Armin and Ruth Bender purchased the station in 1941 and operated the business for 31 years. The station was also a Bus Depot for the Continental Trailways bus company. Armin and Ruth retired in 1972."
Here's a photo of the place back in 1949, and an old matchbook.
Taken with a color picture control in camera and converted to black and white later using DxO Filmpack 6. This is the HP Sinclair Oil Refinery that sits next to the Public Service Company of Tulsa electrical plant and across the Arkansas River from the Gathering Place, a highly regarded city park, connected by a relatively newly constructed pedestrian bridge.
Back in May of 1970 Sinclair Oil still served Milwaukee. This beauty of a Diamond T was just leaving their lakefront terminal to make deliveries.

Swedish Greta Garbo (1905-1990) was one of the greatest and most glamorous film stars ever produced by the Hollywood studio system. She was part of the Golden Age of the silent cinema of the 1920s and was one of the few actors who made a glorious transition to the talkies. She started her career in European cinema and would always stay more popular in Europe than in the USA.
She was born as Greta Lovisa Gustafsson in Stockholm. When she was 14 her father died, leaving the family destitute. Greta was forced to leave school and work as a clerk in the department store PUB, where she also would model for newspaper ads. She photographed beautifully. Her first film aspirations came when she appeared in two short film advertisements, Herr och fru Stockholm (Ragnar Ring, 1920) and Konsum Stockholm Promo (Ragnar Ring, 1921). They were seen by director Erik Arthur Petschler who gave her a small part as a bathing beauty in his comedy Luffar-Petter (Erik A. Petschler, 1922). From 1922 to 1924, she studied at Dramaten, the prestigious Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. She met Mauritz Stiller, who was Sweden's foremost filmmaker in the early 1920s. He trained the 18-year-old in cinema acting techniques and gave her the stage name Greta Garbo. Stiller cast her in a major role opposite Lars Hanson in Gösta Berlings Saga (Mauritz Stiller, 1924). This dramatisation of a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf was internationally successful and made Greta a minor star. On the strength of Gösta Berling, she was cast in the German prostitution and depression melodrama Die Freudlose Gasse (G.W. Pabst, 1925), in which she co-starred with the legendary Danish star Asta Nielsen.
And then Hollywood called. Louis B. Mayer invited Stiller to work for MGM when Gösta Berlings Saga caught his attention. On viewing the film, Mayer admired Stiller's direction but was unimpressed with Garbo's acting and screen presence. Stiller insisted on bringing his protégé to Hollywood, thus, Mayer contracted her as well. Garbo’s relationship with Mauritz Stiller came to an end as her fame in Hollywood grew and he struggled in the studio system. In 1928 Stiller was fired by MGM and returned to Sweden, where he died soon after. Garbo retired in 1949 after making some screentests for a never realised film project. She abandoned Hollywood and moved to New York City. She would jet-set with such personalities as Aristotle Onassis and Cecil Beaton, and spent the rest of her time gardening flowers and vegetables. In 1954, she was given a special Oscar ‘for her unforgettable performances, and in 1999 the American Film Institute ranked her as the fifth greatest female star of all time.

The Sinclair ZX81 was a home computer released in 1981 by Sinclair Research. It was the follow-up to the Sinclair ZX80.
The machine's distinctive appearance was the work of industrial designer Rick Dickinson. Video output, as in the ZX80, was to a television set, and saving and loading programs was via an ordinary home audio tape recorder to audio cassette. Like its predecessor it used a membrane keyboard.
Timex Corporation manufactured kits as well as assembled machines for Sinclair Research. In the United States a version with double the RAM and an NTSC television standard was marketed as the Timex Sinclair 1000.
As with the ZX80, the processor was a NEC Zilog Z80-compatible,[1] running at a clock rate of 3.25 MHz, but the system ROM had grown to 8192 bytes in size, and the BASIC now supported floating point arithmetic[2]. It was an adaptation of the ZX80 ROM by Steve Vickers on contract from Nine Tiles Ltd, the authors of Sinclair BASIC. The new ROM also worked in the ZX80 and Sinclair offered it as an upgrade for the older ZX80 for a while.
The base system as supplied had 1 KB (KB) of RAM. This RAM was used to hold the computer's system variables, the screen image, and any programs and data. The screen was text only, 32 characters wide by 24 high. Blocky graphics with a resolution of 64 by 48 pixels were possible by the use of the PLOT command, which selected among a set of 16 graphics characters.[3] The ZX81 uses a resizable display-file (screen buffer) meaning that it can be expanded or shrunk depending on the amount of installed memory and the amount of free space at the moment.
The ZX81 was originally sold via mail order in kit form requiring soldering [2] (priced at £49.95) or assembled (£69.95 or US$100 in the US). A later deal with high street retail W.H.Smith saw the ZX81 and all accessories being sold on the high street (ZX81 was £69.99, ZX 16K RAM pack £49.99, ZX Printer £49.99)
