History

This is an original 1965 TR4A IRS delivery from Triumph to Greece. During the late 80s, it was converted to TR5 specs which included fitting a correctly designated ‘CP’ TR5/TR6 Petrol Injection engine with a 516323 head. Concurrently the body was restored, stripped of the old blue finish and resprayed in Old English White. The interior was retrimmed in black leatherette.
