The Triumph TR5 and TR250 served as critical transitional models produced for only 15 months between 1967 and 1968, marking the brand's shift from four-cylinder to six-cylinder power. While visually nearly identical to the Michelotti-designed TR4A, the TR5 was groundbreaking as the first British production sports car to feature mechanical fuel injection, utilizing a 2.5-liter straight-six engine equipped with a Lucas PI system that produced a robust 150 bhp.
The TR250 was developed specifically for the North American market, where strict emissions regulations necessitated replacing the fuel injection with twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors, resulting in a more modest 111 bhp.
Because of their short production run as a "stop-gap" before the arrival of the TR6, both models are highly collectible today; approximately 2,947 units of the TR5 were manufactured, while the TR250 saw a higher production volume of 8,484 units.
Don't settle for wire wheels offered by other brands. The design and look of these wheels are directly from the molds and designs of the original Dunlop wire wheels. Never settle for "close enough". British cars deserve British Wire Wheels.
