The Herald 13/60 is in our opinion the best looking of all the Heralds, with the original Giovanni Michelotti design and borrowing some of the front styling from the Vitesse it also benefits from much improved performance thanks to the 1296cc engine and a revised interior.
The Triumph Herald is an iconic British classic that’s instantly recognisable and much loved amongst car enthusiasts. With all of the parts still easily available they make for great easy to own classics that will take you straight back to the 60’s.
This Herald 13/60 has been in the same family since new, having passed from father to daughter when the father passed away.
It has very low mileage and has always been kept garaged, and it shows. The car, whilst not cosmetically perfect, presents very well indeed and we think that the slight patina of age is befitting of such an original car.
Easy to drive and with a long MOT, it’s perfect for an easy going classic car experience.
Ones with this low mileage and staying in one family from new don’t come up often, so get bidding, it won’t be around for long.
V5 - One previous keeper, which was the vendors father
MOT until March 2023
MOT and tax exempt
Invoice from March for the following work; carburettor rebuild, rear wheel cylinders, front and rear flexible brake hoses, brake master cylinder and small amount of welding
Sliding in behind the wheel of this Herald you’re instantly reminded just how comfortable cars used to be!
Thanks to careful ownership and the low mileage the interior is in very good condition and the tan vinyl seats, matching carpets and wooden dashboard look fantastic and make driving this car a relaxed and pleasurable experience that few modern cars can match.
The chrome surrounded gauges look great against the wooden dash and everything works exactly as it should.
Brightwork in generally good condition with a patina reflecting its age
Kept garaged throughout it life
Some areas would benefit from attention as shown in the photos
Wheels in good condition
The car presents well overall and makes a good first impression with its distinctive styling that is very much of its time.
The exterior is entirely original, from the paint through the brightwork to the window seals and whilst it has clearly benefited from being kept garaged. There are some areas that could do with attention as shown in the images, but they are cosmetic and the car is ready to be driven as it is.
Recent work carried out for the MOT as detailed in the paperwork section
Mechanical condition reflects the low mileage and the car having been dry stored
Starts, runs and idles very well
Sounds good with no unwanted noises
Ready to drive and enjoy
With its low mileage and having been kept dry this Herald is in very good condition mechanically.
Throughout its history it has had fairly long periods without use in storage and has recently been recommissioned and made ready to drive ready for the new owner.
As can be seen in the images the engine bay and underside are both in good condition and the car starts easily and sounds great. The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should and with MOT until next March it’s ready to enjoy.
Triumph Heralds make for easy to own classics, with fantastic parts availability and a strong community of enthusiasts.
This Herald stands out from the crowd thanks to its very low mileage and having been kept in the same family from new. With a long MOT it’s ready for a new owner to enjoy.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
