Yes. 12/50 grille, looks like suffix plate so 63+. |

Thanks. These cars looked so charming. Maybe the Rootes-brothers should have hired Michelotti as well... -- Last edit: 2017-01-26 22:11:08 |

They may have looked nice, but they could bite you if you found some corners to play on. In extremis, and I've been there a couple of times, the swing axle rear suspension could put you in a very difficult position. To save you asking, I had a 1961 Herald 1200 Coupé. The only other Triumph I had heavy involvement with was my Dad's 1964 2000, which came between a Farina Cambridge and an Austin 1800 Mk1. Mum had a Dolomite, but that never needed the spanners on it. -- Last edit: 2016-11-30 14:54:28 |

Thanks a lot for that interesting bit of information although I was actually just referring to the sheer debonair elegance most Michelotti-designs had; I did not want to say anything about the stuff Triumph's technicians put unterneath the beautiful veneer. |

http://www.carsaddiction.com/files/cars/61__Herald_1200_Coupe.jpg It's even the same colours. Yes, I know it looks a bit of a hairdresser's car, but I won the local motor club's grass hill climb trophy with it one year. If you want one of this range of cars, get the Vitesse 2-litre, no swing axles. -- Last edit: 2016-12-01 15:43:29 |
