1962 Triumph Herald 1200
The Triumph Herald was one of the first line of cars released after Standard Triumph had been bought over by Lyland Motors Ltd in 1961. The 1200 series was made available as a saloon, coupe, convertible and station wagon. Under new ownership these now classic cars got a 1 147 cc engine. The new models also got better seats; the dashboard was wooden laminate for a bit of class and the bumper was covered in rubber.
Sales went up with the release of the 1200 series, the Standard-Triumph coupe production had to be dropped as it was in direct competition with the later released Triumph Spitfire.
