The Appeal

The Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible is one of the most endearing open-top classics of the 1960s. With its Giovanni Michelotti styling, famously tight turning circle, and the simple pleasure of wind-in-the-hair motoring, it's a fitting member of the much-loved lineage of the Great British sports car.

This 1968 example benefited from a mid-life refurbishment approximately 15 years ago and has been well looked after since. The current owner, who purchased the car around two years ago, proudly tells us that the car has been an absolute delight to own. Whether the buyer hopes to restore it up to top-notch snuff or keep it as is for an eminently drivable classic, we've little doubt it'll bring plenty of smiles to its new keeper.
