snowric Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I saw CP1 at Tr Bitz just under 2 years ago and the panel which the tank filler pokes through was like a grater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Flinn Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 A tad optimistic with the asking price? Or maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 The TR5 price saga goes on !...I thought the one at TR Bitz was CP2, which they sold for about £50k, a mate of mine took a picture of it there with the engine out. I may be wrong though. Whatever CP Number this one is, its a Grand Price. Have fun . Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowric Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks Conrad you are almost certainly right ! I tht TR Bitz was the prototype ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 The TR Bitz TR5 was CP2. CP5 is Jasmine yellow. cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Flinn Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) This Valencia blue car is CP2 (I've had confirmation from a very reliable source!) it will be interesting to see if it sells? Does anyone know whatever happened to CP1? Edited October 30, 2015 by Gary Flinn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D1070 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I wonder how many of the very early TR5s ie CP1-20, actually survive, seems like a few. Like others, I recall seeing CP2,in a rough state, at TRBitz, cheers, Laurence Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 If this car is worth so much (worth is an odd word) How much would the prototype 5 be - it started life as a 4A (sort of). The one I've seen is a beauty. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlejim Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Will somebody really pay that for it??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Hi Stuart, not sure - it has all the PI pumps etc in the engine bay. Looks like a 4A until you lift the bonnet.. The owner live part time in the South of England and France. Roger Edited October 31, 2015 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 If its a white car Roger then I have seen it. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOG_MORGAN Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi all cp1 was sold by tr bitz for £50 000 to a man in London has it was thanks billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 TR Bitz sold CP2 not CP1..... CP1 hasn't been on the market for many years, it's in private ownership in Essex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Ashworth Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have photos of the one that TR Bitz had and the engine number was Number 1. I must also have photos of the commission plate, too. Criag told me it was the first TR5 and they had just sold it for £50k and were then about to carry out a restoration on it. So, maybe TR Bitz had both of them. When I return to the UK, I can look the photos out if anyone is interested. The car was Valencia Blue and I had a look at it several times from before it was dismantled to when it had the engine out. Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like others, I recall seeing CP2,in a rough state, at TRBitz, cheers, Laurence CP20 LO is currently 'under restoration' 35 mins from my house, My son's sailing coach bought the car last year and is now busy trying to make it like new again. Peter, the owner, has set himself a goal: to re-use as many parts as possible. He knows a thing or two about TRs: he's restoring his third now and in 2014 he won the Best of Show Award during the Dutch Triumph Day with a green RHD TR5. Peter is not really a fan of the internet and that sort of things. He's not a member here. Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
