It even has a fin on the roof! One of the all-time greatest small car design from master stylist, Giovanni Michelotti. Thanks for this very informative, well-done vid.
Couldn't agree more!
From the other side of the pond, I still remember from circa 1970 a family that had a Triumph Herald as well as a Mercury Meteor of which in Akron Ohio both were rare sights, I still have vivid memories of both if only because they were rarely seen even then where I lived and I cherish those memories.
Just popping in to say how much I enjoy the Classics World channel. Thank you for creating such consistently informative and entertaining content. The thought invested into each video, including the shorts, is apparent. Well done, wishing you continued growth and success!
Thank you, Much appreciated!
Nice review, but no mention of the ones with cardboard dashboards! I had such a one many years ago, which was a coupe. Coupes are a rare sight thesedays, but are quite possibly the best looking of all.
The outer sill/rocker cover panel is held on with self tapping screws, it doesn't connect the ends of the outriggers which have a structural (three-sided) member welded across their ends. The outer cover is just that: a cover. Only the Spitfire/GT6 version of this chassis has structural body sills or rockers. I had both types and restored both types.
Very good, one thing they don’t have lever arm rear dampers (only Mk2 Vitesse’s have those), all Heralds are telescopic.
My 1st in 1981 68G Herald 13/60 bought for £150 owned 2 years sold for £275. Result!!😊
Another good video 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
That was a splendid and most informative review. Thank you!
I have always liked the styling and apparent ease of maintenance of the Herald. To me it seems like a car that would really suit my personality and my technical limitations.
The style is hard to resist, and they're easy to work on!
It looks like a baby American car from the outside. I like its nice wood dash.
Classy, isn't it?
Very nice cars - if I remember rightly, they were aimed at lady drivers looking for a car with the comparative levels of style and luxury as their husbands cars (remember this was 1959 - male chauvinism was still rife). I’d argue that this, and the later 1300 were direct inspiration for BMWs small ‘premium’ saloons of the 60s and 70s. BMW even hired Michelotti to consult on the styling.
The sills are not structural in any way. There is a channel section behind the sill that connects to the outriggers and that is structural.
I don't think hearlds were as good as the sample when new. But then there is always the 25ft turning circle.
To bad they put a aftermarket radio in it. Looks totally out of place. My 2 biggest hates are aftermarket wheels and radio.
A visual shame, but very practical in use!
