Noticed from the DVLA website that this TR5 which I owned for a while in the 1970’s is currently taxed and MOT’d ! If the current owner is out there I have some period photos and the original logbook.

Are you able to post them on here anyway?

You’ll find we like old car photos?

This is the car we owned in the mid 70’s. It was purchased for £750 via The Exchange & Mart and sold for a similar sum a few years later once we had started a family and needed a sensible car.
The rear wings had already been replaced with fibreglass ones by a previous owner and the front ones were starting to go as well. The old style log book showed 7! Previous owners.
I remember it as being generally reliable and we did trips to the Lake District and North Devon from London, although it did go through about 3 fuel pumps in a week before the Triumph Dealer found one that worked.

I’m sure the current owner would be delighted to get the pics and historical details.
I have some great pics of my 5 from its original owner which are great to have in a history folder .
Interesting how quickly your car had succumbed to rust at just 6/7 years old ?
No wonder there’s not many left .

I haven’t seen a TR5 with a badge that far up the bonnet before!
