I loved my triumph herald. The joy of lifting the whole front end and climbing in with the sewing machine to fix/service it.
I feel quite nostalgic about it now.

Nice little cars , pity mine ended up as a kit car base

The 2 litre Vitesse had bigger balls.

The same engine was used in both the Triumph 2000 and GT6.

   My first motor was a Herald 1250 went on my honeymoon to Cornwall in it, in 1972. Easy to work on,but, only needed a shower to start it rusting, particularly the top above the rear (rubber) bumpers

Ah yes rust  The reason the whole body was junked on mine and just the chassis and engine remained ready for a Cobra body kit

First car my parents had when I was a nipper. Have cine film of my dad apparently driving it to the hospital to collect me, although I suspect it was a re-run.

I have a vague recollection of it overheating somewhere on the A11 on the way back from Norwich and "helping" my dad replace the piston that it killed. First and last time I remember him doing any serious mechanics. I can't have been more than about 6 when he sold it - replaced by a Maxi. <shudder>

I, too, replaced my herald with a maxi! Sounds like me and your dad had the same masochistic tendencies.

My Dad refused to have BL. He thought French shite was better. Actually, he was probably right

My Dad wouldn't have bought a French apple in the 1970's, let alone a car. He did eventually buy a French car, but it was a Renault Espace, so that foray was relatively brief.

Hmmm but would you want to drive a car that sounds like ladies bits? 

[albitz]

Surely that would be a Lancia Fulvia ?

Or the Renault Cl.....
