Hi just like to ask if you had both of these cars which one would you choose to restore first?.

Rod.

I'm going to go for the TR5. I'm a Triumph fan anyway but even so I reckon the TR5 has a better engine and better rear suspension so it'd be a better drive. The only reason to go the other way is values; the Healey will be worth more (I think) so you might be better off doing that to cash in, just in case values fall in the near future (unlikely).

Much like Varsas, I'd do the TR5. Having done a 6 the 5 would be easy. And I don't like driving Healeys...

Other way round for me but for similar reasons. I'd do the Healey first, sell it and then have a specific budget for the Triumph (which I would restore and then keep.)
