I don't think anyone knows the answer to that

There's probably thousands still out there in storage from the 80's but I think in a few years time the number appearing for sale, in their original state will decrease dramatically.

It's unfortunate but as certain parts of the C5 break (gearbox, motor, pod etc) its sometimes necessary to buy a c5 for it's parts, and if those parts help others get theirs on the road...

Some folk will rebuild and restore the shells, other shells will end up as other projects with different drive methods... unless its one of mine as I have a plant pot and the other goes on my roof with a Santa sat in for my Christmas decoration
