Malcolm,
In his authorative work "Original TR4/4A/5/6" which was released recently,
Bill Piggot says :
"The TR5 grille, like the TR250's, evolved a little further, with matt black
paint on upward facing surfaces of the horisontal bars".
Also there is another detail that changed :
"The starting handle aperture had finally disappeared, although the
corresponding front valance cut-out still remained !"
