What is triumph herald?

The Triumph Herald was a compact car produced by the British manufacturer Triumph from 1959 to 1971. It was designed as a small, economical family car and was available in several body styles, including saloon, convertible, coupe, and estate.

The Herald was known for its distinctive styling, with its curved bodywork, large wrap-around rear window, and upward-swinging rear tailgate on the estate version. It was powered by a range of small four-cylinder engines, with later models featuring engines ranging from 0.9 to 1.3 liters in displacement.

The Herald was well-received for its handling and comfortable ride quality, making it a popular choice among motorists looking for an affordable and practical vehicle. It was also successful in motorsport, with several rally and racing variants being produced.

In total, over 500,000 Triumph Heralds were produced during its production run, making it one of the best-selling British cars of the 1960s. Despite its success, the Herald was eventually phased out in 1971 and replaced by the Triumph Toledo and Triumph Dolomite. Today, the Herald remains a popular classic car among enthusiasts and collectors.
