elclem1 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hi All I have a friend here who, having done a full body off restoration that he is just coming to the end of, can no longer drive the car due to personal circumstances. He has asked me to sell it for him on his behalf. I thought that members would be the best place to start so if anyone out there is interested please PM me for photos etc etc This is a genuine TR5 on injection registered in France.

Sorry to correct. If the TR5 is a Belgian production & assembled in "MECHELEN" ("MALINES" for the French speaking !) then the chassis number is 1CP followed by 1 to 4 figures & ending with "LO" (left & overdrive) or "LP". Interesting to know that the first TR5's in Sweden were RHD (traffic exactly as in the UK) but later traffic rules in Sweden changed resulting into LHD cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I am pretty sure it is Canley built but will check with the owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
