Dave Burgess Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Gary I read somewhere that CP 1 was a trial build or similar and that it was never finished, dismantled for parts when its use ended. Dave B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again Peter, that explains things. I know the first and last models can fetch more money than normal production cars, I suppose being one of the Press cars helps boost its value too, but twice as much as a normal Tr5?

Gary, Twice as much, not in my opinion. by the time you add press cars, motor show cars, London, Paris, Italy. Demo cars etc, it adds up to plus 20 TR5s Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Tony VC Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 CP5 is quietly for sale. PM me if you are seriously interested and I’ll put you in touch with the owner (not me I should add). regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We modified a couple of the high milers with leather interiors or hard tops to incentivise the sale. I wonder where those cars are now, particularly Gerry Mc Govern’s company car with its unique cream leather and ash piping interior. (usual was cream with parchment) There was one particular press car that had an experimental 20 mm deeper full width front skirt that always got praise for its astounding stability at high speeds.

mike797 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 hi there. Only just seen this note on the forum. CP1 is in the village that I live in and is up and running. I am trying to get the owner to join out club. Hopefully he will realise the importance of his vehicle and restore the car back to as original spec as posable. The other vehicles he owns are in 1st class condition and very well looked after. I believe it now has a good owner who has the means to carry out any work the car requires. mike797 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
