The Triumph Herald was a small two-door car introduced in 1959 by the Standard-Triumph Company of Coventry. Body design was by the Italian stylist Michelotti and the car was offered in saloon, convertible, coupé, van, and estate models. Total Herald sales numbered well over 500,000 and the Vitesse, Spitfire and GT6 were all based on modified Herald chassis and running gear with bolt-together bodies. Heralds are still seen on British roads in the early 21st century. A sportier version, the Herald 12/50 Skylight Saloon, offered from 1963–1967, featured a tuned engine with a claimed output of 51 bhp (38 kW) in place of the previous 39, along with a sliding (Webasto) vinyl-fabric sunroof and front disc brakes as standard. The power output of the 1200, which remained in production alongside the 12/50, was subsequently boosted to 48 bhp
The Triumph Herald was launched in the same year as the Mini and Ford Anglia - we take a look at the car that was nearly never built.

(possibly the world's foremost Herald expert) sent us this great find that is located in Burlington, North Carolina and is up for sale here on craigslist for $8,995. While it's undoubtedly had some work (I don't think this is a stock Herald color and the seller tells us...
An unlikely sight on this side of "the pond"; with full GT6+ drivetrain and modifications that leave a huge smile. A very cool, award winning, restored English Wagon.
