Triumph TR5 PI – Original British Sportiness in a Rare Specification
Now available: a stunning and rare Triumph TR5 PI – an icon of the 1960s, renowned for its rarity, character, and exhilarating driving experience. This particular TR5 is more than just a classic car: it comes equipped with the original Surrey hardtop with aluminium roof panel and matching soft-top, making it a highly desirable example for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Model History
The Triumph TR5 was produced between 1967 and 1968 as the bridge between the TR4 and TR6. Only 2,947 units were ever built, exclusively for the European market. What truly sets the TR5 apart is its mechanical petrol injection system (PI) fitted to the legendary 2.5-litre inline-six engine, producing around 150 hp. At the time, this was revolutionary technology, making the TR5 one of the most powerful British sports cars of its era. Its low production numbers and sporty performance have since made it a true classic in the eyes of collectors.
