About this checklist

Sinclair Research brought home computing to millions. The ZX80 of 1980 was one of the first computers sold for under £100, the ZX81 followed in 1981, and the ZX Spectrum of 1982, with its rubber keyboard and colour graphics, became one of the best-selling British computers ever and the start of a huge games scene.

The Spectrum line grew with the ZX Spectrum+ (1984) and the ZX Spectrum 128 (1985), while the Sinclair QL (1984) aimed at business users. After Amstrad bought Sinclair's computer business in 1986, the Spectrum continued as the +2, +2A and +3. In the United States, Timex sold licensed versions such as the Timex Sinclair 1000 and 2068.

Each model shows real photos from collectors on Save All and how many of them own it. Add your own machines in the app to see how complete your Sinclair collection is.
