Apparently £400 in 1980 is the equivalent of about £1,630 in 2017.
So by todays standards a C5 would cost about an average months wage +£320.
The battery technology back then was not quite up to task through and there were also safety and other performance issues, plus the vehicle failed to meet some of the manufacturer′s claims.
The timing was wrong and the market not researched enough for the C5 to take off in any sort of big way back then.
