The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1969 Triumph Herald
***NO RESERVE***
Registration – JEB 524F
Chassis No. – GE195CV
M.O.T. – Exempt
Odometer – 50,957
This very original example of Triumph’s Herald convertible is presented in rich Burgundy bodywork, with striking white roof, and black leather interior with wood trim to the door caps and dashboard. This Herald 13/60, which is offered at No Reserve, comes with the standard 1.3-litre straight-four engine that was introduced towards the end of the Herald’s production run – the name coming from the engine size and power output. That engine, and the manual gearbox it’s connected to, are considered in ‘excellent’ condition by the vendor, the electrics rated as ‘good’, and the body, paint, and interior reckoned ‘average’. There are 50,957 miles indicated on the odometer, though this is not warranted.
Triumph introduced the Herald as a compact two-door model in 1959, styled by legendary designer Giovanni Michelotti, and was produced in saloon, coupe, convertible, estate, and van iterations throughout its lifespan. It was produced until 1971, with more than half a million models produced. Initially, it was offered with 803cc or 948cc engines, before the Herald 1200 arrived with a larger, more powerful motor. This is when the three-door estate came into the range, and the van was produced from 1962 until 1966. The Herald 13/60 arrived in late 1967, with a new engine, more power, and tweaked styling, to bring it in line with other Triumph models.
In summary:
· Characterful convertible, with gorgeous colour scheme and classic interior
· A highly original example
· Late example of the popular Triumph Herald, offered at No Reserve
