C5's coming home...

Postby booboo » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:20 pm

I've duplicated this thread in the Events Section as it is also an open invite to other vehicles.

The Sinclair C5 part is of greatest interest to me personally :P

Copied from the C5alive website;


Hi Everyone,

I am new here, but want to reach as many of you owners as possible to ask for your support.

The Hoover factory in Merthyr is 60 years old in 2008 and to celebrate this and the production of the C5 there in 1985, we are holding a Sinclair C5 Gathering as part of our Annual Welsh Heartlands Autofest.

The dates are Saturday & Sunday 19-20th April 2008. The show site is the Blackwood Civic Centre & Country Park, near Caerphilly.

But wait, we want to make a C5 road run from the Hoover Factory in Merthyr down to the showground in Blackwood, a distance of around 13-14 miles max and mostly slow downward gradient, no need to woprry about the brakes or lack of them, it is only gentle gradient and good road.

We have cleared the idea with the police and if we can get at least 10 x C5's to make the run, Hoover will give us some sponsorship, so you will all have special rally type plaques on the front and a special souvenir of this wondferful challenge.

The idea is to leave Merthyr around 11.00am and arrive at Blackwood Civic Centre at.......well you can tell us !

Next years Autofest will feature over 500 motor vehicles and there is also a two day Celtic Wrestling programme plus a music programme between 12.30 and 24.00 on Saturday and 12.30 and 17.00 on Sunday. Showing the twinning relationship between Caerphilly and Ludwigsburg in Germany and Pisek in the Czech Republic we have bands from both Germany and the Czech Republic performing live as well as a large folk dance group from Pisek in CZ. Camping on the showfield is possible for exhibitors only and subject to pre.booking.

We hope you will all try and give us your support either for the road run or just for display as we are ourselves supporting the Wales Air Ambulance charity and the more interest we can create, the more money we can give !

Take a look at our website for a general overview.

Hoping for some very positive thinking from group members.

Regards to all
