Recent interior refurbishment including new sunroof, headlining, carpet, and seat covers
Right-hand drive example
The Appeal
The upmarket variant of the Herald, the 12/50 kept the Herald's essential styling and character intact while offering a tuned-up variant of the car's four-cylinder engine, with a much-improved 51bhp. Add in a vinyl sunroof, disc brakes and that distinctive aluminium grille, and you've got quite the classy interpretation of the Michelotti-styled motor.
This Triumph Herald 12/50 is a particularly special one. With only one owner from new, we're told this superb example has a full service history, it has been meticulously cared for throughout its life, something that's immediately obvious at first glance. A rich British Racing Green livery, smart bodywork and a luxurious cabin are all immediate selling points. Said interior has been recently refurbished, too, including a new sunroof, headlining, carpet, and seat covers.
This vehicle is ready to be enjoyed and will no doubt become just as cherished by its lucky new owner.
