The Triumph TR 5 is the successor of the Triumph TR 4. The car came onto the market in the year 1967. The appearance of the TR 5 was, except for the grille, the same as the last of the TR 4's, the TR 4 A. The improvements to the TR concept could be found under the bonnet; instead of a carburated four cylinder engine the TR 5 shows a cast iron six cylinder engine with petrol injection and a capacity of 150 bhp. The Triumph TR 5 was the first British production car equipped with petrol injection.
The six cylinder engine originally came from the Triumph 2000 saloon. For use in the TR 5 Triumph enlarged the cylinder capacity up to 2498 cc., fitted a more racy camshaft and petrol injection. Result was that they gained 60 bhp. to the standard engine, enough for the engine to be used in a sports car like the TR 5.
The TR 5 is built on a separate chassis with independent suspension all round. The car has disk brakes at the front- and drum brakes at the rear wheels.
The Triumph TR 5 was produced two years only; during 1967 and 1968. In 1968 the TR 6 made it's way to the public.
In the two production-years only 2947 TR 5's were produced and 8.484 TR 250's (the US version without petrol injection and detuned engine). The TR 5 is the scarcest Triumph TR version and much sought after.
The Triumph TR 5 is, in original specification, the fastest model of the classic concept. The TR 5 is a drivers car "pur sang" with excellent ergonomics, clear instruments, inspiring road holding capabilities and a hot-blooded engine. A true classic sports car without being harsh or spartan. 
A very desirable British sports car...
