HOW MUCH IS A TRIUMPH TR5 - TR250 WORTH ?

It is not possible to give an accurate amount. Quote depends on condition, and version. Like most of the British roadsters from the 60s, the TR5 is popular and well estimated by enthusiasts.

As this car lasted only one year, it is the rarest and one of the most wanted Triumph TR. Expect to pay 25% more than a TR4 to get 2 more cylinders under the bonnet. TR 250s may be cheaper, but you will get no injection nor independant rear suspension. According to many enthusiasts, there is very few interest in buying a TR250 in comparison with a TR4 A (only a bit more torque) and those who want independant rear suspension but don't care too much for performances will surely choose a TR4A IRS.

- Surrey Top : a hard top with a solid rear window and frame, but with a removable top element. It allows to convert your convertible TR4 into a "Targa roof" fixed head coupe. This is the most useful equipment, available only on Triumph TR4, TR5 and TR250. 

- overdrive : reduces engine speed, and relaxes both the engine and your ears.

- wire wheels (painted or chrome plated).
