Mini logbook with visible reg for the folks who know how to report it to the right places...

I'll take some tomorrow for you chap...

Its literally just forward of the drivers front arch

Have a Monday morning bump..

1967 Triumph Herald 1200

10 months ticket
Tax free

Bodywork is really good, few bubbles dotted around and the normal bit of grot on the front flip front leading edge on one side.
Floors, chassis etc all solid

I've not long had this, but my perfect car has just come up for sale so disappointingly I have to try and sell this.

Everything appears to work as it should, engine is strong, I've just had the head off for a quick refresh and whilst i was in there I replaced the exhaust valves.

Gearbox does whine in 1st, but i'm unsure if they just do that as its a non syncro first.

I've just given it a full ignition service, points, condenser, rotor, dizzy cap, leads and plugs

Basically a really presentable early Herald

I have a new rear window seal and 2 new uj's for the rear as one is moaning a little.
























Located in Burton on Trent

£1900

A few people have asked for a few more pics and info

Wheel sizing, i've never been good at this so you may want to work it out yourself

Rears 10.5" overall width, 164mm backspacing, et24???

Fronts 9.5" overall width, 146mm backspacing, et19???

Bent rim


One of the fronts


Shod with Nankang 225/35 r18s


Just to prove they're genuine


Finally a better pic of the waterproof buckets

How was the crank bearing seal?

Clutches and oil a judder do make...

Replied to all...

Yeah, i sold this when i needed to move house back in Octoberish

The bloke who has it now is chucking a lot more money at it than i ever could

Unfortunatly he seems forum shy, i see the odd fb post now and again but thats it

Life is getting in the way at the minute so I've shelved the Jago project for the foreseeable future (read maybe permanently)

I can't not have a Retro in my life though, so the search began.

I was driving through the lanes near my house on the way to kill some bunnies and there by the side of the road was a '67 Herald 1200 with a for sale sign in the window. Literally middle of nowhere, old boy clearly hasn't heard of eBay. Worked in my favor though as i knocked a grand off his asking price and the next day I drove my new Herald home.

She's in pretty damn find condition, bodywise there is a few bubble here and there and the classic leading edge of the front wheelarches need tickling with the blue glue, but i'm happy.

Mechanically I don't think she's had much love for a while. The engine is pretty tired, but runs quite nice, i'm hoping whipping the head off and giving it a refresh will suffice whilst i run her out of the 12 months mot she has, then i can think about an mx5 swap.

I did a complete ignition refresh yesterday and she now starts on the button and the horrible misfire has gone


Anyways, have a pic




Plans are to drop her down and add some banded rims, mx5 engine and i'm hoping that will be pretty much it, but we all know how that pans out
