1968 triumph tr 5 sports
Seller's Description
1968 Triumph TR5. Multiple award winning car, well known in Queensland and South Australian TSOA circles. An extensive, painstaking and no expense spared ‘body off’ restoration was undertaken in the nineties by the previous owner which included all mechanical work by Powertune Motors of Norwood, South Australia. The quality of the restoration shows clearly with a Triumph Shadow Blue interior in leather and fitted woollen carpet to compliment the Triumph New White exterior and chrome wire wheels. As can be seen in the photographs, this TR is fitted with what is generally referred to these days as a ‘Surrey Top’ with fixed backlight, and interchangeable hard top and soft top. Underneath, the powder coated chassis and all suspension components are rich black and highlight the care taken with the restoration. Some of the subtle improvements to be found on the car include: Improved rear axles, High torque starter motor, Electronic ignition, Improved front brakes (ventilated, drilled and slotted discs), Koni Classic telescopic dampers front and rear, Spin on oil filter, Adjustable lumbar support in the bucket seats. The Heritage Certificate for the car shows a build date of 30 August 1968 and a despatch date of 9 October 1968 for delivery to Leyland-Albion (N.S.W.) in Sydney and when new it was fitted with overdrive, white hard top, wire wheels and a heater. Its exterior was New White and its interior was in black ambla. It also had a black Surrey Top. This very well sorted matching numbers car presents in very fine condition and is a rare opportunity for the discerning Triumph enthusiast or collector, given that fewer than 3000 (2947) of these Michelotti bodied cars were built in 1967 and 1968 before the introduction of the TR6. This car was in the last 100 before the end of production and would be one of the last to be imported into Australia. An extensive document file and a photographic record of the restoration will accompany the car. Also included in the sale are workshop manuals, spare parts catalogue and a rare original sales brochure. The original, restored steering wheel is also included. The car is advertised elsewhere with more photos. Please contact me if you require more information or more photos. Phone or email only. Texts will not be responded to.
