• Displaying c.1,341 miles on the odometer
• Rare TR model, from the lauded Triumph family of sportscars
• One of some 2,947 examples of the marque

The rarest energetic child of the TR family, approximately 2,947 are believed to have been screwed together within the 13-month build period. A fact that is usually reflected in the values and rarity on the Triumph enthusiast scene.

Presenting in a state evoking originality, this home market right-hand drive TR5, is finished in Triumph Racing Green. Chassis no. 1789 has a complementing Black leather cloth interior. Previously purchased from a deceased estate before languishing for some 28 years in storage. The odometer displays the mileage as 1,341 miles. The V5C issued in 2005, indicates one former recorded keeper, with the registered keeper shown to have acquired the vehicle in 1988. Additionally, a copy of a letter written by the vendor and addressed to the DVLA, implies that ‘JVC’ has not been on the road for many years and some details suggest the car only clocked-up 77 miles in 1975.

‘JVC’ has been previously recommissioned following the many years of storage, with the self-evident work including a fuel system overhaul with replacement pumps, fuel regulator, pressure valve, injectors, filter etc and a braking system overhaul which included the fitting of replacement calipers, master cylinder and in addition, a replacement exhaust system etc. Inside the cabin, the interior has been refreshed with new carpets etc. ‘JVC’ is obviously fitted with a much-revered Surrey Top - it includes the canvas section in addition to the steel section shown in the photos, together with the original soft-top. Paperwork includes workshop manual, original owner’s handbook, a history file and the current V5C.
