*Low mileage Herald
*Lovely red colour scheme
*Good history file

Styled by Giovanni Michelotti, the Triumph Herald was a popular and much loved car of the 1960s. Produced in saloon, coupe, convertible and estate body styles, the Herald was incredibly versatile, cheap and stylish. However, the Herald wasn't designed to be a sports car, but more of a comfortable cruiser – and was powered by 948cc engine, with 1147cc and 1296 units added much later.

This 1966 1200 model car is an excellent example with an exceptionally low mileage of just 12,685 miles. The car is presented in a lovely red colour scheme with black fabric roof and black leather interior. The bodywork, paint and chrome and all in an excellent condition. The interior trim and leather also present well. The car is running and driving and as it should, and has a good history file. Heralds make fun and usable classics that are practical and easy to maintain, and this is a very good example.
