Why it matters

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The TS5A differs from the original TS5 in suspension, gearbox, fuel and oil system, and brakes, and only nine TS5A cars were built. The page's chassis is a TS5/A with race number 151 (often 15); a race number does not prove the chassis, so check the chassis history against the nine-car TS5A count.
