1960s Triumph Herald 1200.
Amazingly this old Herald still appears on the vehicle licensing website so perhaps it has survived? The rot around the rear corners suggest that it was in need of some restoration when this photo was taken. It dates to 1968. The outer sills are only screw-on so not structural. Biggest Herald killer is terminal rot to the chassis outriggers. I remember seeing a lovely green Herald in a Welsh scrapyard - the only reason it was in there was rot to the main chassis rails - from the top it looked great.

- Herald 1200 from Triumph.

- Colour(s): Green.
The Triumph photograph above wasn't taken by me, but by G. King, and is shown on oldclassiccar with his permission. His photos were taken at various locations a few years ago, including photos of classic Triumphs such as the Herald 1200 shown above. From what I can tell, some of the cars and vans featured were seen at shows (eg at the NEC and Alexandra Palace in London), whereas others were spotted out and about in daily use, or parked up at the side of the road. If you own the Triumph shown here, or know the story of this particular Herald 1200, by all means get in touch. I'd be interested in showing similar photos of other Herald 1200s too, so if you can help please drop me a line.
More of the photos in this particular collection can be seen on the general Classic Car Photographs page. Other picture collections, featuring similar Triumphs, are available to view in the main car photos section.
