Part 8 Bohus and Shaun… Put the Pedal to the Metal

On a road trip in Southern Ontario, Bohus and Shaun unearth a Sinclair C5 – a rare British electric car rarely seen in North America. Dave Baker has been collecting old tech for four decades. In his shed, the “Vintage Tech Hunters” discover an electric vehicle from the 80s. Even then, environmentally friendly alternatives for local transport were being researched. The Sinclair C5 couldn't make it on the market because it was too slow and didn't offer enough storage space. But real retro freaks don't mind that much. So Shaun and Bohus offer the owner S500 for the vehicle. While waiting to have it repaired, they find some other unexpected finds in rural Ontario. Portable typewriters and radios also fit into the loot scheme.
