1960 Triumph herald 948 SOLD

1960 triumph herald 948 saloon finished in "monacco blue" with matching interior trim. Tax and mot exempt. Very nice, original looking car which starts, drives and stops as it should.
948cc triumph engine with solex downdraught carburettor. 33 bhp (when new!) with a top speed of 71mph.
sympathetically restored in 2012. work included an engine out rebuild including top end and main bearings. New door skins. Bare metal respray in original colour, new window rubbers all round, new headlining, lots (not all) rechroming and new brake shoes, wheel cylinders and braided brake lines.
brakes are drum type, with twin leading shoes on the front. There is not, and never has been, a servo.
apart from the headlining, the interior is the original "vynide" material with matching door cards back and front. The dash is original with all matching switches, and still has the original drop down "chip basket" document shelf.
the oil pressure and temperature gauges are sensible modern additions, but can be easily removed.
the chassis members and out riggers are all sound, having been extensively wax oiled in the past.
prior to going on sale, a front brake pipe has been repaired, the remote gear shift linkage has been serviced and new wiper blades fitted.
all in all, a very nice useable classic which can be further improved.
in particular, a potential owner should be aware that, after 10 years, there are some minor marks on the paintwork. The black fibre dash has a crack across the top due to 62 years of operating a stiff choke lever. The front seats could do with re stuffing. There is a 1cm tear on the back seat rest. The clutch engages and disengages well, but catches very low.
the car (we call him gerald) comes with a good spare wheel, dust cover, repair manuals and whatever useful bits i can find.
in an ideal world i'd keep him, but have been told, in no uncertain terms, that i have too many cars!
