Gary Flinn Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yes, not seen a 5 on E-Bay for ages, they normally appear on the Car & Classic site? It looks nice and is honestly described in the write up too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boxofbits Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) And for a 40K car, I think the photographic quality and presentation could have been a little better! Might improve his chances. Chassis is CP30720, is that early? Kevin Edited August 2, 2017 by boxofbits Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tim hunt Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Good spot Graeme, you do have sharp eyes. This is the first "TR5" I have ever seen without reversing lights - the plot thickens. They are such a useful feature why would anyone remove them? Tim0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim0 I recall not bothering to fit them back onto a 5 I rebuilt many years ago...... at the time, they just seemed to be rust/grime/mud traps.... it might be the same thoughts happened here ? Although I did, instead, fit a separate lamp below the bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
