Does anyone remember Sinclair Opalene oil?
Not actually a restored Sinclair Station but rather someone's collection of antiques recently installed on what was once a gas station or general store. Google street view from just a couple of years ago shows a plain deserted building here.
I found a cd full of negative scans from when I worked at Kzoo Color Lab. These look way better than the scans I made with my Epson, originally. (2006)

The Sinclair Gas Station in Fort Worth, Tx.
Well worth seeing for all the iconic dinosaur logos - the brontosaurus mascot on the roof gives the place a playful air, and the mint condition of the service station and vintage truck in front also indicate that a lot of care has been taken to make the gas station historically accurate.
This Sinclair gas station appears to be kept in pristine condition as some sort of historic preservation of a circa 50s or 60s service station. The place is kept in mint condition, nicely painted, with bars across the drives to keep vehicles from pulling in. The iconic dinosaur logo is everywhere on this historic structure.
Sir Clive Sinclair started production of the Sinclair C5 in 1985 with much aplomb. Sales numbers were a disaster as the vehicle was slow and had a short driving range. There were also safety concerns using it on the road in between far larger cars. In about half a year the company run out of money and production stopped after only 14,500 C5's were built.
Built with 41515, 41516, & 41517
If you’d like to see how he was built, I made an album of his disassembly:
One of the busiest musicians in Bedworth is Kenny Sinclair, legend of the keyboards. Very good with the free and easy dance routines for the elderly and very popular. Seen here at Saunders Hall WMC in Bedworth.
Normally more likely to be seen in a museum (or on a tip?) today, this is a Sinclair Research C5 battery electric vehicle. It was invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Vehicles Ltd in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. A battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees, its top speed of 15 mph (24 km/h), is the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence. It is powered by a 200w or 250W motor and was originally sold 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, although according to Sinclair, it was "the best selling electric vehicle" until November 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.
This particular one, driven by what I assume is an Englishman, considering his patriotic bowler hat, was seen on the South Bank of the River Thames during the build-up to the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. It looks rather grubby, suggesting it had been pulled out of a shed at rather short notice?
