Triumph Herald Resurrection - Flipping Bangers - S03 EP03 - Car Show

[@keegan773]

I love the optimism, releasing the handbrake and hoping it will roll out.

[@peterhurd9667]

If I'd sat in the I'd be wiping tears away. The latter half of the 60's and through to 1977 my grandmother and grandad would take me for trips to the lake district in a similar Herald, a lovely shade of green. And two of the sweetest people in my life, if not the sweetest (what grandparents are for). Grandad had two, one runner, one for parts.

[@LydiaAnderson-f3l]

@Hello Peter how are you doing?

[@pommyyep1020]

if i was back home in England i would buy a car from these two blokes, they do make sure you get a good safe reliable banger. love these shows.... hi from Australia.

[@martinda7446]

I'd have offered the lady 2,000. That is a one in a few thousand... Amazing find. A 1960 Herald with a perfect bonnet, etc... I would have checked the chassis though. If there is a car EASY to restore, it is the Herald.

[@rogerhampton2844]

I had one of these. Brilliant car. Lift the lid, sit on the wheel and work. Every anyone went in it we were in hysterics. Such a fun car. I miss it.

[@51WCDodge]

And! Spare fuel tank if you run out!

[@davidgamper6726]

Me too, my first car was a ‘64 12/50 . Lots of fun and even a full size Webasto sunroof.

[@RanaJi-hi3hd]

Love this car..I grew up with one...green and white...Learned to wash it...polish it..drive on it..work on it...and even went on a 3 month road trip with 4 of us..kids, my parents..a roof rack and trunk full of stuff ...plus a jerry can of petrol .. I later(18 year mark) oversaw the rebuild of the engine...new floorboards..new carpets..re upholstered seats..dent and paint..Oh the memories.. what a car..

@Hello Kevin how are you doing?

[@tjxkeith]

As a Triumph mechanic who did my apprenticeship with the Triumph dealership in Gloucester in the late 60’s. I found this a memory refresh. There is one thing that stands out like a sore thumb that’s the black rocker cover should have been the original bronze. A tip about the cover they tended to be over tightened crushing the cover easy fix with piece of wood and a hammer to straighten it out. For those that don’t know the engine as an 803cc was derived from the Standard 8 the 948cc was fitted to the Standard 10. I did learn something I didn’t know why there was a loop in the clutch Hydraulic pipe.

[@davidtaylor595]

It would have been very easy to take the rocker cover off!

[@shedtime_au]

No, the engine is a 948cc and you're an idiot. Never seen one wih a bronze rocker cover either.

[@SteveInQLD007]

So the 6-cylinder Herald was the Vitesse right and is it a straight forward enough conversion keeping the 4 cyl transmission?

[@1FeistyKitty]

you always want to leave a couple easy items for the buyer to fix so they can feel like a hero

[@redmile999]

Excellent, thanks for uploading this. Great motoring programme

[@GARCKY]

In the 1970s, I was flipping little British cars in California. But, then, you could buy one for $100, and parts were cheap. I never had a Herald, but I did have a 1959 Standard 10 (Triumph 10, here). Like your Herald, it was a decent little car that just needed a mechanical overhaul. So, I did that. I drove it for a year, and sold it on for $600. A good result. During my time, many little British cars passed through my life, from a 1959 Sprite to a 1964 Hillman Super Minx. Each was unique, and found a new owner who loved that uniqueness after I reconditioned it. I'm enjoying the channel.

[@multislipful]

Well done! I have a soft spot for Triumph Heralds. Firstly I had a blue and white Dinky Toy model of one when I was 11 years old. Then I luckily passed my driving test first attempt in a grey and white one, registered 4MDV, at the age of 17 years and 7 weeks. Thanks for shining a light on such a relatively simple, clever, and versatile car design. It was attractive too. The one that you found was so original and incredibly well preserved. Really enjoyable thanks.

[@alanbrookes6637]

Lovely old Herald, the turning circle was incredible on those, a steal @ £4250

Designed by Italian Michelotti.

[@stephenhall3515]

Thank you for this and so many happy memories of childhood and into young adulthood when I acquired a Spitfire. My Dad bought his first Herald with the 948cc engine (but no bonnet handle) and it was clearly so very different from unibody cars and the Vauxhall Victor our neighbour had. Neighbours were more car savvy than Dad and marveled at engine access and the all important "proper chassis", which allowed damaged panels to be bolted on. Panel beaters especially liked that they could totally finish items off the car and because the steel was better than on GM, Rootes and Ford cars. Michelotti's ingenious design meant that the Herald chassis could fit future iterations and Dad's next was a brand new 1200 with single SU carb. Suspension and turning circle were not much affected by bigger engines. Dad's last was a 13/60 coupe and he only parted with that when Mum needed a car with a seat set higher than Heralds could accommodate, so they changed to Toledo fitted with mods which was very quick and more like a Dolomite. Herald familiarity came in handy for me because, as a career education man which was quite stressing so my way of un-stressing was to restore old sports cars. A Spitfire was my first and Dad often drove it because it was like a Herald to drive except for speed and oomph elements but it had the brakes to cope. A GT-6 came and went (same Herald chassis) because it was overpowered for the structure whereas TR 4s and MGBs colleagues and I co-owned felt more integrated as sports cars. The Vitesse had avoided unsteadiness. Without a doubt, the Herald (and derivatives) was unlike anything else on the road at the time and you gents have the expertise to not only revive the 948 in this video but to have demonstrated the many virtues and very few vices of the design series. Clearly you had a whale of a time working on it, tinged with almost reverence for a classic and the joy of young lads riding in it.

[@jamespassas9441]

Triumph Heralds have such good access to the engine & front suspension. They are great cars to work on.

[@gusgone4527]

I like the workshop constructed using containers as outer walls with a roof over the enclosed concrete floored workspace. Two secure storage units built in!

[@paulromans3917]

Right, very nice, good job. I loved the part where you're just trailering it back to the workshop, reminded me of doing that with mine a couple of years ago. People would pass me, honk, smile and wave. Whenever I'd stop, someone would come up with a big smile and say "Ooh, a Herald! You know, my Father / Uncle / Grandad had one of those..." I've never had a car that created so many smiles.

[@gusgone4527]

There is just something about the Herald shape that attracts me. (Funnily enough, it was launched less than a month before I was in 1959.) My father had a second hand Herald 12/50 in the late 60's early 70's and it was the very first car I drove, on private land as a young kid. I've always wanted one to restore and cherish but never had the time, spare cash or heated garage space one would deserve. Nearest I got was an old Spitfire built on the same chassis.

[@kevinhendon]

Brillian restoration as it should be & not overboard, followed a Herald last month from Guildford to Reigate all the way and loved it, well done guys 👏👏

[@wilfredkoo6895]

Nice video. Oh Boy! You guys took me down memory lane. As a teenager, I used to drive a convertable one (55 years ago) my dad used do simple repairs and services on it....changing brake liners... Master cilinder rubbers and pistons...points.... bleeding...etc.

[@clivemacken552]

My dad had marina and ital to as well as landrovers when growing up marina by name and nature he allways said lol

[@gedjones5977]

I had a ‘73 blue 1300 GT Marina Coupe with a full length Webasto vinyl roof bro, this was in 1982 when at 9 yrs old and only 35k it was considered an old car, the only problem I had was a trunion going west, this was the same suspension as a ‘50’s/60’s Morris Minor, I strapped it up with some nylon rope as a get me home measure , I didn’t know about keeping the trunions grease nipples pumped with grease on a regular basis, you know what Martin I miss the days when we could look after our cars without needing a degree in computer science 🙄

[@velviaman3206]

I forgot to mention the water in the boot , I eventually left the drain plug out. And there was the hopping of the rear end if one went over a pothole or drain cover. Yes British engineering at its worse, thank god I discovered reliable Japanese cars after that.

Memory s,1973 i work in the Champagne in France with such a car in white. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@Doctortigger-m1b]

My late Mum had one of these brand new, in Damson Red, XDH 916G. It was the family's second car, and it was garaged and really well looked after. When it was sold in 1976, it went to a student. It only had 36,000 miles on the clock and the student managed to blow it up on the M6. I don't know if people remember the parking lights that you could hook over your window at night, but the Herald had one of these, and I still have it to t his day. I use it on my 1956 Minor Tourer, or on my 1959 Traveller.

[@alanbeddoes1575]

Love your program concentrated. I love this car. I wish I had a caravan like that.

[@jeremypearson6852]

It’s very obvious reading the comments that the car brings back memories for a lot of people. I’ve been away from the UK for forty years, but I still remember seeing them on the road in the 70’s. Light blue seems to be the most popular color and it’s what I remember. An expat in Florida.

[@gerryh0011]

Ha ha, our first car was a 1960 948cc Triumph Herald in Sebring White. Only problem we had with it was the gear lever tunnel used to wear due to the nylon ball on the lever picking up grit and scouring the tunnel. This caused, eventually, when trying to select first gear it would bypass the small gate and select reverse which was quite "interesting" at times. If the one here is a 1960 model it surely shouldn't have rubber bumpers. Mine was just plain metal,The rubber bumpers didn't come out until the model with the bigger engine. Having said all that when we got it we felt like king and queen as previously we had been using my mums 1938 Ford 8 which was a bloody wreck. Driving from St.Pauls Cray Kent to Alton in Hampshire was taking your life into your hands. Keep up the good work lads and many thanks for the memories.

[@keithsmith9712]

That Triumph is absolutely lovely. I’m in Essex so wish I’d found it. I went to buy one in the 1980s as my first car but parts of it were hanging on a fence, it was rusty even back then! A VW enthusiast would love this reg plate.

[@fins59]

My dad had around 1970 when i was around 5 years of age. The reserve petrol setting on the petrol tank used to fascinate me. There was a lever to move on the tank that switched it to the reserve setting.

[@stevehale4712]

Wow, I had forgotten about that feature, we had one of these in the late 1970’s. I moved onto a 1975 Triumph 2000 manual with overdrive (lovely car), sadly it only lasted just over a month before a British Steel truck dropped a 2 Ton roll of steel onto the southbound outside lane of the M1 just north of Woodall services casing a 7 vehicle pile up, I walked away but the car was written off.

Great restoration. Enjoyed the video immensely. I thinkchoosing British classics is the way to go, the cars themselves must be interesting/nostalgic, cars we want to see running again. Well done. Hope you made a quid.

[@paulmarsh5856]

The bodywork is not the big worry on Heralds, it is the separate Chassis and Chassis Outriggers - they are very prone to rot. I owned one of these way back - a convertible - Reg No. PEE 66 and removed the Engine, stripped it down and had a Rebore - New Pistons & Rings etc. A New Hood was made to order and the whole car Resprayed a Metallic Blue. The only major worry was the Chassis and Chassis Outriggers - they were rotten which required major re-work. To replace the whole Chassis, complete, would have required the body being lifted off so the Repairs and fabrication and welding in the replacement parts was undertaken in-situ. I loved that little car and sold it to a neighbour some years later.

[@rodpettet2819]

Having owned one, I'd have suggested looking at the sub frame and its mountings before getting too excited. Interesting how you put the flywheel in the freezer and used a blow lamp on the starter ring. I'd have waited until mum was out and popped it into the oven!😂 With regard to the main/ reserve fuel tank switch. Don't forget to switch it back when you fill up as they are really just one tank. If you run on reserve and run out of fuel, then you have run out of fuel period!
