Interviews from 3 people who made the Sinclair C5 happen! From concept to the infamous launch. In 1985, Sir Clive Sinclair launched the Sinclair C5 electric vehicle on a wintery morning to significant press fanfare at Alexandra Palace in London. Sadly, that launch was the start of the end of the ill-fated electric vehicle. This is that story. From 3 of the brilliant people behind it, Barrie Wills (managing director), Gus Desbarats (designer) and Perran Newman (engineer), we hear their side of the project.
