Special Triumph TR5 for sale
First production Triumph TR5 roadster to be sold by Classic Motor Cars (CMC) – yours for £79,500.
The right hand drive 1967 TR5 will be on display at the Classic & Sports Car show at Alexandra Palace (Oct 30 – Nov 1).
One of only 1,100 produced, it was manufactured on August 29, 1967, by Standard Triumph Motor Company Limited. It then went onto the Press Fleet, as well as appearing at the Earls Court Motor Show of that year.
Production of TR5s lasted for a 13-month period, between August 1967 and September 1968.
They were built with a 2.5 litre straight-6-fuel-injected engine, developing around 145hp. Fuel injection was incredibly rare in road cars in 1967, causing Triumph to claim that this was the “first British production sports car with petrol injection”.
“This TR5 is in very original condition throughout, having been serviced and maintained to a high standard throughout the last 48 years,” explained Managing Director of CMC, Nick Goldthorp.
“A comprehensive and detailed history file confirms the provenance of this distinctive and historic car, which will certainly be a great addition to any car collection.”
