Speccy is slang for the Sinclair Spectrum 48k. It was a home computer released in the early 80s that took the UK by storm. The guy behind it is re legend Sir Clive Sinclair. He was an eccentric genious who blew it all with the Sinclair C5, a battery powered trike that killed his company.
My dad nearly bought a C5 from Rumbelowes for £40 when they flopped. He always regrets not getting it as they are collectors items now
