Triumph TR5,1968 TR5 : The Triumph TR series is one of the great success stories in the history of the sports car and many would say that the TR5 was the pinnacle of this series. It was a development of the TR4A which, in turn, was based on the TR3A chassis, but with independent rear suspension and styling by Giovanni Michelotti.
The TR5 had Triumph’s 2.5-litre straight-six engine which gave 150 bhp and 168 lb/ft torque which translated into 120 mph ( 0-60 mph in 8.8 seconds ) with a very flexible mid-range. The roar of the engine has been likened to a ‘Six Cylinder Symphony’..
