dytkos 17,534 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Great inventor but sadly in the wrong era. Ex wife's cousin bought one of his Sinclair Black watches, back in the 70s. Obviously all black, pretty much all plastic. You pushed a button on the side and the time came up in a red LED, pushed it again and the date came up. The sort you can get in a pound shop stylee place nowadays. Think he paid about £300 for it Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 6,570 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 There's a fine margin between an electric scoter and his prototype car. If he'd tweaked his car to make it more like a scooter he would have been hailed as a genius and made a few bob in the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
