Description
A car in immaculate condition
Our November 1968 Triumph TR5, a very rare model in the Triumph family, is in remarkable condition, even exemplary.
We can say that this Triumph built in Malines, Belgium, in a run of only 2, 947 examples, is among the models most sought after by Triumph enthusiasts. Not only for its rarity, but also for its 2. 498 cc straight-six engine developing 150 bhp, which introduces fuel injection and its featherweight 1, 030 kg.
An English roadster of the purest tradition with performance worthy of the era’s sportiest cars, surpassing 200 km/ h…
Beyond the incredible pleasure of driving, this example is in exemplary overall condition. No work is to be planned.
Its bodywork alignment has been set with meticulous care, the mechanicals well maintained, the upholstery and hood in perfect condition, the bodywork and paintwork without reproach redone many years ago.
We have a substantial file of invoices and the entire period toolkit in its boot with its spare wheel.
With 23, 780 km on the clock, this one shows no signs of an accident. Its chrome is in excellent condition, the engine starts at the push of a button, its wooden dashboard, its three-spoke Motolita wood steering wheel, its faux-leather upholstery with a white piping recalling the bodywork makes it very elegant and refined. It is fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and seat belts installed by its owner.
Cherry on the cake, it will be sold with numerous spare parts, its user manual in French and its original yellow headlights. Our example is registered on a French collection licence.
More than a collectible car, it marks a turning point for the marque and a genuine shift towards driving pleasure and power.
