The body was removed from the frame and refinished in red following an accident under prior ownership. Exterior details include a black soft top, a replacement top boot, a tonneau cover, chrome bumpers with overriders, Marchal headlamps, a luggage rack, twin exhaust outlets, and a TR5 PI badge on the trunk lid.
Silver 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 185-series Auburn redline tires, while a spare is located in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums, and the car is equipped with fully independent suspension and a front sway bar. Work performed under current ownership reportedly involved truing the wheels and replacing the tires.
The cabin features low-back bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with white piping as well as a color-coordinated dash surround, door panels, and carpets. Features include woodgrain dashboard trim, a locking glove box, shoulder belts, rubber floor mats, and a floor-mounted shifter. The wiper motor was reportedly replaced with a TR6 wiper motor by a previous owner, and the seller notes that the wipers operate slowly. The carpet is torn beside the accelerator pedal, and a replacement carpet section is included in the sale.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 220-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 56k kilometers (~35k miles), approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.5-liter “Petrol Injected” inline-six came equipped from the factory with a Lucas fuel injection system, which has since been retrofitted with Bosch components. The engine is said to have been overhauled under current ownership, and work reportedly involved refurbishing the fuel injectors as well as replacing the pistons, rings, oil pump, and oil cooler.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The clutch was reportedly replaced under current ownership.
