Triumph TR5 2.5

This 1968 Triumph TR5 has been built as a fast-road car rather than kept standard. The 2.5-litre six has been rebuilt to a fast-road specification with forged pistons and steel conrods, and the page quotes 180 bhp. Cooling has been improved with a four-row alloy radiator, electric fan and oil cooler, and the exhaust is a stainless Supersports system with a six-into-one manifold.

Beneath that, the car has been uprated to suit. It has the stronger J-type overdrive gearbox, an uprated clutch with hydraulic release bearing, AP Racing four-pot front calipers with vented discs, and Alfin rear drums. Poly bushes, Spax dampers, stiffer springs, uprated driveshafts and hubs and a quick-ratio steering rack complete the chassis work.

Safety and competition-style kit includes a full roll cage, four-point harnesses, blue leather rally seats and a foam-filled fuel tank behind a firewall. The car is finished in white, has had five previous owners and shows about 25,200 miles (40,549 km). The MOT is recorded as expiring in June 2024.
