Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This UK-market, right-hand drive 1968 Triumph TR5 has been meticulously restored and maintained, emphasizing reliable touring with upgrades like a rebuilt engine, enhanced brakes, and adjustable suspension. It presents beautifully with excellent paint, chrome, and a virtually flawless interior, though a few minor exterior blemishes are noted.
Condition
8
The car has undergone a full restoration in 2010 and subsequent maintenance. The interior is described as 'flawless' with no cosmetic issues. The exterior has straight panels with no dents or ripples, and the chrome is in very nice condition with minimal tarnishing. The wire wheels are free of damage. However, there are a few noted exterior flaws including peeling paint on the grille, sanding marks on the bonnet, stonechips on wings and door, chips and a scratch on the rear wing, perished seals on rear lights, a damaged seal on the windscreen frame, and a poorly aligned door. Despite these minor points, the overall condition is excellent and close to pristine.

Around 15,000 miles have been put on it since, meaning it is little more than nicely run-in.
The gearbox was rebuilt using Stag components where possible, and the front brakes are now four-pot jobbies from Wilwood.
The suspension is via adjustable Spax dampers, and the cooling system runs with an electric fan and an uprated aluminium radiator.
The fuel system benefits from a custom-built long-range fuel tank and swirl pot, and the petrol is pumped from it via a Bosch fuel pum...
