Right, after the Humber wagon I briefly had my hands on this beaut.

Roof detachable (not by choice, it just came off at any speed over 20mph)...beautiful grrrr from the engine when you tapped the accelarator (later found to be rust/holes in the pipe)...room for 2 (dwarves) in the back....

At the time I thought the Triumph Herald was classified as a sports car and as a consequence the treacle would be bountiful, on reflection I was mistaken, when the girlfriend at the time gave me the big adios and after the usual 'I want us to be friends stuff...' I asked her did she like the car...she answered, politely to be fair...'No, its beeping disgusting and I felt ashamed every time I sat in it..awful'.

She might have had a point to be fair...the Triumph Herald was consigned to Room 101 soon after..
