1968 Triumph TR5 – Full Restoration/Superb Example For Sale

Triumph TR5 – Full Restortion/ Superb Example



Following the hugely successful and visually stunning TR4 the fuel-injected TR5 introduced in August 1967 retained the flowing Michelotti lines of the ‘4’ while upgrading performance with the much more powerful in-house/ Lucas fuel-injected 2. 5 litre straight six engine rated @ 150bhp. Costing around £1260 new there was nothing not to like….. happy days!



The car was an instant success around the world although production ceased after just 13 months, when the mass produced TR6 was introduced, making this the rarest of all TR’s – just 1, 161 RHD cars were released onto the UK market and today good examples are hard to find and highly prized



Milestones have sold two TR250’s during the past 10 years but have never found a genuine TR5 that meets our standards and the expectations of our customers.



Our car rolled off the Coventry production line on 7th August 1968 and was despatched to Berkeley Square Garage Ltd, London W1. The Heritage Certificate confirms that the car retains her original colour - Jasmine Yellow – with desirable overdrive gearbox and surrey-top (with both fabric and hardtop insert + standard folding hood)



The TR was the subject of a full (photographic) restoration in the mid 1990’s and a full strip/ repaint in 2015. This bodywork presents extremely well with excellent panel fit, a deep gloss to the paint, excellent chrome and absolutely no corrosion issues – a car to use & enjoy.



Mechanically the car has wanted for nothing in recent years with an engine rebuild in 2015 (5k miles since) and servicing annually with any components being replaced as required.



The engine was replaced many years ago. Anecdotally the engine failed when the car was around a year old, and the Triumph dealership replaced it under warranty with a new TR6 (CP prefix) unit



Interior is outstanding with replacement carpets, seats/ foams, original dash and instrumentation all looking good/ working well and the very desirable surrey hardtop that looks superb and transforms the car.



The ‘5’ has been used for European road trips (including Classic Le Mans three times), weekends away and has never missed a beat/ drives bang on.



The history file includes pictures of the rebuild from the 1990’s, Heritage Certificate, old V5’s, MOT’s, invoices etc. for the past 20 years.



Ready to use and enjoy the TR5 is arguably the most desirable and certainly the rarest of all the TR’s.



We recommend early viewing and a test drive to fully appreciate the beauty, driving experience & addictive soundtrack of this stunning classic.



We guarantee that you will smile.
