Triumph Herald
NEW
First introduced in 1959, the Triumph Herald quickly gained popularity. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, it marked a new direction for Triumph, both in appearance and engineering. The Herald featured advanced elements for its time, including fully independent suspension and responsive rack and pinion steering. Over 500.000 units were sold during its production run, and the model remains popular among classic car enthusiasts today.
This book outlines the history and development of the Triumph Herald, covering all main versions - saloon, coupé, convertible and estate. Technical aspects such as engines and key mechanical systems are clearly described.
Practical guidance is included for prospective buyers and restorers, with advice on identifying well-maintained vehicles and sourcing original or compatible parts.
