1971 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible
1971 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible
One of the last built and in very good condition. The car was bought from a dealer in the Midlands by a TOWC member in 2018. It was a genuine, low mileage, one family owned vehicle first registered in Plymouth. The first owner lived in Exeter and passed it to his daughter when he gave up driving. The member is a competent owner and before purchase he inspected the underside of the car on the dealer’s ramp to ensure it was sound. He also checked the chassis number which denotes a genuine, factory-built convertible. It came with a wealth of service history. After purchase he replaced the noisy gearbox with a reconditioned unit from a well known Triumph specialist. (Click here for the full wording)
