Clive the C5 from 1985

A Sinclair C5 that was left to rot in a barn for decades has been fully restored by a Cambridgeshire mechanic.

Launched by Cambridge computing legend Sir Clive Sinclair in 1985, the little electric three-wheeler was billed as the future of transport.

It never really took off with the public. Only five thousand were sold, before the company went into receivership.

John Devine's been to meet Clive the C5, and owner Mark Robinson, in Littleport.
