History
Delivered new in France in 1968, this TR5 PI was given a complete overhaul and restoration in 2009. Since then, it has covered some 58,400 km.
Conditions
This TR5 is in excellent condition: it runs perfectly and looks very well preserved since its last restoration.
Exterior
The bodywork is in excellent condition. The car originally left the factory in "Royal Blue" (code 56). The paintwork was professionally redone in 2009 in "Signal Red". It is in very good condition today. The reinforced spoked wheels (72 spokes) look very good, as do the headlights. Note that the car is fitted with long-range and fog lamps. The chrome is brilliant and the soft top, in very good condition, ensures a perfect seal. The vehicle also has a luggage rack.
Interior
The interior is in excellent condition. The car is fitted with leather seats (original option), perfectly stretched and without a single tear. The varnished wood dashboard is a real eye-catcher. It is also fitted with an elegant Moto-Lita three-spoke steering wheel and a car radio with electric aerial. All the instruments are fully functional.
Mechanical
Mechanically, this TR5 was completely rebuilt during its restoration. The engine works perfectly and is mated to a 4-speed gearbox with overdrive, making for a more enjoyable ride. The brakes are fitted with ventilated front discs and aviation-style flexible hoses, with DOT5 silicone brake fluid. The tyres, Vredestein Sportrac, show only 20% wear.
Underbody: The car's underpinnings are sound and free from corrosion. Photos are available on request.

Selling a classic car is not easy; buyers are always cautious, which is understandable. The fear of being deceived is real, given the significant amounts sometimes at stake. CarJager supports and advises you throughout the entire sales process. All administrative procedures are fully handled, and the payment is secured. A responsive and available team. It is true that all these services come at a significant cost. But it is probably the price of peace of mind and trust between buyers and sellers.
