Vehicle description
Triumph Herald 1963
The Triumph Herald is a small two-door car introduced by Standard-Triumph of Coventry in 1959 and made through to 1971. The body design was by the Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti , and the car was offered in saloon , convertible , coupé , estate and van models, with the latter marketed as the Triumph Courier . Total Herald sales numbered well over half a million. The Triumph Vitesse , Spitfire and GT6 models are all based on modified Herald chassis and running gear with bolt-together bodies.
The Standard Pennant"s 4-cylinder 948 cc OHV Standard SC engine and 4 speed manual gearbox was used with synchromesh on the top three gears and remote gear shift and driving the rear wheels . Most of the engine parts were previously used in the Standard 8/10. The rack and pinion steering afforded the Herald a tight 25-foot (7.6 m) turning circle. Coil and double-wishbone front suspension was fitted, while the rear suspension, a new departure for Triumph, offered "limited" independent springing via a single transverse leaf-spring bolted to the top of the final drive unit and swing axles . Instruments were confined to a single large speedometer with fuel gauge in the saloon (a temperature gauge was available as an option) on a dashboard of grey pressed fibreboard. The coupé dashboard was equipped with speedometer, fuel and temperature gauges, together with a lockable glovebox. The car had loop-pile carpeting and heater as standard. A number of extras were available including twin SU carburettors , leather seats, a wood-veneered dashboard , Telaflo shock absorbers and paint options.
