Description
A car in impeccable condition Our November 1968 Triumph TR5, a very rare model in the Triumph family, is in remarkable, if not exemplary, condition. We can say that this Triumph, produced in Malives in Belgium in only 2947 examples, is one of the most sought-after models by Triumph enthusiasts. Not just because of its rarity, but also because of its in-line 6-cylinder, 2498 cm3 engine developing 150 bhp and featuring fuel injection with its featherweight of 1030 kg.
An English roadster in the purest tradition, with performance worthy of the sportiest cars of its day, topping the 200 km/ h mark... As well as being an incredible pleasure to drive, our example is in exemplary general condition. No work is required.
The bodywork has been finely tuned, the mechanics well maintained, the upholstery and soft top in perfect condition, and the bodywork and paintwork redone many years ago without reproach. We have a substantial file of invoices and all the period tools in the boot, along with the spare wheel. With 23, 780 km on the clock, this car has no trace of an accident. Its chrome is in excellent condition, its engine starts from a standing start, its wooden dashboard, its three-spoke Motolita steering wheel and its imitation leather upholstery with white piping reminiscent of the body tent make it very elegant and refined. The car is equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and owner-fitted seatbelts.
The icing on the cake is that it will be sold with numerous spare parts, its French user manual and the yellow headlights that were originally fitted. More than just a collector's car, this is a turning point for the brand and a real turning point towards driving pleasure and power.
