Thirty years ago I had a collection of Triumph Heralds a bit like that; it wasn't planned, they just came looking for me!

That's just being greedy. Having 20 of them and none in roadworthy condition!
Always fancied one of these but probably too late for me now, especially if they need major work.

At least the guy sounds reasonable in his assessment. The problem with these cars is the coachwork. Ash frames are a bit like sheep; they seem to find endless different ways to become useless!

As it often happens...you like a certain type or manufacturer and then they seem to sort of get attracted to your ownership!!
