On the Surface:

A lovely example of Triumph’s Herald 1200, finished in Midnight Blue over a Light Blue interior. Inside, the car presents well with good carpets, a recently renewed headlining and a wooden dashboard. The chassis and floor are reported to be in good order by The Vendor, contributing to a very presentable and usable classic.

Maintenance & History:

OYR 781F has had just five former keepers with The Vendor and the previous owner always keeping it garaged. The history folder accompanying the car is extensive, documenting a significant amount of work carried out during The Vendor’s tenure, as well as numerous receipts, past MOT certificates, and invoices from a respected classic car specialist. During The Vendor’s three-year ownership, all fluids have been replaced and the car benefitted from new tyres and a fresh battery two years ago. Practical upgrades include conversion to an electric fuel pump and negative earth.

The Model:

Styled by the renowned Giovanni Michelotti, the Triumph Herald was introduced in 1959 and quickly gained a reputation for its sharp looks, separate chassis construction and superb manoeuvrability thanks to its famously tight turning circle. The 1200 variant balanced performance with economy, making it a favourite in the Triumph line-up and a popular choice for today’s enthusiasts.

Sale Insight:

Attractively finished and well cared for, this Herald 1200 has been spoilt as shown in the detailed history file. OYR 781F represents an appealing opportunity for anyone seeking a charming and usable entry point into classic Triumph ownership.
