Indeed.

On other sites I have seen commentators making fun of the C5 - a venture that saw Clive losing £ 7 million of his own money (in 1985 - that would be about £ 18 million today).

And yet, living in a seaside town (OK, lots of retired folk about), every second person I meet is on a battery-powered electric mobility "scooter"* (chariot?) ... many exercising the dog as they trundle along!

So, yet again, perhaps Clive was ahead of his time.

Although, to be honest, most of these folk would need a bit of help getting into (and out of) a C5.

* If I were younger, I reckon it would interesting (not to mention profitable) to get involved in servicing and repairing these things. There are three "mobility" shops in this medium-sized town.


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
