Triumph Herald 1200 1967
Specifications
Description
The design of the Triumph Herald was finalised when Eden was UK Prime Minister. Two years later, in 1959, the car was launched. It was a sensation. It was the first British light car with independent suspension. The 25feet turning circle gave new meaning to mobility. The Herald also pioneered long interval servicing, the multi position driving seat an all round view for the driver and an outsize boot.
50 years ago, people chose the Herald because they liked innovation and some because they liked known quality. Today, people buy the Herald because its a desirable car to have in any classic car collection and because you can hardly find a good one nowadays. Its an iconic car that represents an era.
