    Morning all… Hope you enjoy todays video. Something completely different but perfect for a Sunday video I thought. Dad wanted to do the video 😊 If it goes well, petrol head’s run in my family and my uncle has AC cobra which he said he wanted to do a video on. (Also have a few uncle’s/ friend’s who have some serious motors🙈) Let me know, no problem if not. But something different for Sundays 😊

Spent many an hour in that car. Many, many memories. The joy and pride on your fathers face was simply priceless!! Yes, driving a car like that would certainly make you feel young again!

    It's in very good condition. I had a 1967 TR-4A back in my uni days and loved it, same colour (royal blue or midnight blue, can't remember which). Always wished I had replaced it with a TR-5 or TR-6 but opted for a 1976 Stag instead, which I still have. Those TRs have a timeless, beautiful shape. All the mods/upgrades your dad has done sound great, but personally I would have kept and re-upholstered the original seats. I understand MX-5 seats are more comfortable but they just don't look right in the car. Apart from that it's a beauty.

I knew old John Pemberton too (your father?), he used to deliver milk to BAe Warton canteens when I was delivering fresh produce. I had a TR4a IRS back in the day which was the fore-runner to the TR5. I hope the family are well.

    The first car that I bought was a 1960 TR-3A . I got married in 1963 and new wife needed a car--what else but a new 1964 Spitfire. The TR-3 was stolen and I was in the US army and did not have time to buy a used TR-3 to replace it and so I bought a 1965 TR-4 IRS. It had drive train problems, its clutch would lock up when cold and that would lobutck the transmission up. I replaced it with a new 67 VW Beatle. I eventually found a 1959 TR-3 in1969. I still have it, but it is not quite a runner. My last Triumph is a 1977 TR-7. This was a great car when it ran, but had engine problems. The slant 4 was a dog in US trim.

    Love Andy's TR 5. I think modern cars have no soul and look like jelly molds. Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts are my faves, in fact, most older ford cars are ace also old rovers like the sovereign, etc are great cars and Triumph Toledo's ' sprints and Dolomites are ace. But the TR 5' TR 6 And Mk 1'2' and 3 Landrovers just rock. A 'P' L OCKHEADS brake calipers are well up there. It is good to hear someone who can talk cars like your dad as motorcycles are my thing but old cars are just as interesting to me. I enjoyed this vlog by your dad and I hope that you both do more of these. Cheers, Matt.

  • @andrewfletcher1257

    What a absolute joy to hear your father talk about his pride and joy the TR5 and what knowledge and enthusiasm for the particular vehicle. In an age of selfish materialism it’s refreshing to listen to a true gentleman who gets pleasure not from the value of the vehicle but the driving pleasure achieved by the time and effort devoted to the upkeep of the car. As an owner of a Twenty One year old defender I understand the pleasure from driving a vehicle that has character, something that will be lost in future years with battery powered soulless shells of metal!

Ended up gifting it to an ex girlfriends dad as he loved them and never had the chance or found the time to get himself one. That was over 35 years ago. He's retired in his late '70s now and still has it and drives it to this day. Great cars. Thanks for sharing. Spencer

    Back in the 70’s I had the big brother of the TR5. I had a couple of Triumph Stags, I’ll get another one as a toy sometime 👍

    Loved this video, thank you, and definitely do more on the same theme. I had a Triumph spitfire from new in 1971 and only kept it a year, almost always had the roof down unless heavy rain, I did 25,000 miles and went through three sets of tyres, two gearboxes and a new piston, oh yeah and cracked the chassis after one long airborne moment. Always wanted a TR5, absolute beauty, especially with the surrey top but would have kept the Damson colour.

    Nice!!!!! I've seen many Triumph motorcycles here in the States, my brother used to work on them, but I've never seen a Triumph car!!!
    I'm a complete sucker for older convertible sports cars, so that little baby is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing!

    Definitely would of gone fuel injection efi. Or piggy bank setup. The only problem with carbs Is once they get clogged they run very rough or don't run at all. In todays world most people don't know how to clean carbs or they do but put them back together wrong. With fuel injection. Just get the injectors cleaned. Saw a tr5 at a show with a rover sd1 v8 engine on fuel injection. It was great and Definitely didn't hang about when accelerating.

    A guy near me has an identical one to that, YNK427F, he daily drives it in all weathers, but he keeps it minty.

    Sounds like my dad “why would you want all that bother with fuel injection”. Modern fuel injection systems are really good when set up right, old fuel injection systems are crap especially the “mechanical” injection systems. But having said that, it’s an old car so carbies suit it, better induction sound. It’s a nice ride when do we get to see the rest of the garage? New video opportunities!!

    Cars are JUST a nessesary evil. Needed to get from Point A to Point B. Fancy ones are just waisted $ in my book.
    I have never been impressed by them. Just want safe and reliable!
