** History of the model**
The Triumph TR5 was produced between 1967 and 1968, and forms the bridge between the TR4 and TR6. In total only ** 2, 947 units** were built, only for the European market. What makes the TR5 unique is the ** mechanical fuel injection** (PI - Petrol Injection) on the legendary 2. 5 litre six-cylinder engine, good for about 150 hp. With this the TR5 was one of the most powerful British sports cars of its time. This technology was revolutionary at the time and gave the TR5 its sporty reputation. The combination of low production numbers and sporty performance makes the TR5 an absolute classic among enthusiasts.
