The Triumph Herald was introduced by the Standard-Triumph Company of Coventry in 1959 and remained in production until 1971 the body design was by Giovanni Michelotti and included saloon, convertible, coupe, estate and van variants.
This car known affectionately as 'Biddy Blue' is a 12/50 model which were offered between 1963-1967 and featured as standard a tuned engine with higher output of 51bhp, disc front brakes, webasto sliding vinyl-fabric roof and came with a fine barred aluminium grille.
Presented in its original colour of light blue over dark and fitted with dark blue vinyl seats. The first lady owner a school headmistress took great care of the car and it was a regular at shows throughout her forty one year ownership with two files of photographs included in the sale showing the outings to local shows where the car won many prizes (Included with the sale are rosettes and plaques).
The car received a photographic rebuild in 1994 and the quality of the car now shows how well this was carried out. MOT dates and mileages to help confirm that the current mileage looks to be entirely correct.
