Triumph - TR5 (1968)
The iconic Triumph TR5, a classic British sports coupe that first rolled off the assembly line in 1964 and reached its peak popularity in 1968, continues to capture the hearts of vintage car enthusiasts worldwide. Its timeless styling, handcrafted interior, and spirited driving dynamics make it a sought-after model for both collectors and hobbyists. Because the Triumph TR5 price can fluctuate widely depending on condition, mileage, provenance, and market demand, it’s essential to consult a reputable source for up‑to‑date valuation data.
Curious about the historical value of a 1968 model? The Triumph TR5 1968 price historically ranged from around £4,000 to £8,000 in the UK when considering comparable examples, but modern auctions and classifieds show a more nuanced spread that reflects restoration quality and originality.

Triumph TR5 depreciation follows a pattern similar to other mid‑century classic coupes. Assuming optimal maintenance and mild usage, the vehicle typically loses about 15‑20% of its value in the first year of ownership. Subsequent depreciation rates level off to roughly 5‑10% per year over the next five to ten years, provided the car remains in show condition. Enthusiast forums and appraisal reports often cite a Triumph TR5 1968 price growth of 2–3% annually in the vintage market, reflecting sustained collector interest.
Purchasing a used TA5, one must be mindful of specific factors that affect used Triumph TR5 price calculations: mileage, original paint condition, engine service history, and whether the car retains its original manufacturing specifications or has undergone significant re‑engineering.
