VANGUARDS - TRIUMPH HERALD 948 SALOON - 50 th ANNIVERSARY

Triumph�s elegant Herald was styled by Italian Giovanni Michelotti and launched in April 1959, priced at �495 in saloon form. The car modelled, WOY 660, was built on 24th August 1959 and dispatched on 3rd September to Mr Frank Carr, of the influential Triumph dealership �Carr�s Auto Sales�, for his personal use. Carr was a good friend of Standard-Triumph�s Managing Director Alick Dick, and had previously sold Dick his yacht �Herald�. The yacht�s moniker inspired the naming of Triumph�s new model range, so, without this car�s first owner, the Herald may have been launched with its development project name, Zobo. See more
