The Appeal

The Triumph Herald Convertible is a quintessential British car, offering a unique combination of style, performance, and practicality. With its fabulous styling, penned by Giovanni Michelotti, the Herald felt distinctly forward-facing and modern. With innovative suspension, a tight turning circle and simple mechanics, the Herald was a huge hit - and has gone on to be a very desirable classic.

This 1970 example has been meticulously maintained and garaged by its previous registered keeper, an engineer, for over 40 years. The car's low mileage of 70,577 is genuine and verified by MOT records. The engine, gearbox, and running gear are all in excellent working order, reflecting the careful attention it has received. The interior is in excellent condition, featuring a newly fitted bespoke black carpet.
