Early Development and Launch
Development work on the Herald began in 1956 under the codename “Zobo.” The car debuted in 1959 with a 948 cc engine offered in both saloon and coupé body styles.
Versatile Body Variants
Beyond the standard two‑door models, Triumph introduced the Courier van – an estate version with side panels instead of rear windows – which was produced from 1962 until 1966. This variant showcased the Herald’s adaptable platform.
Model Evolution and Parts Availability
The Herald 12/50 remained in production until October 1967, when it was succeeded by the upgraded 13/60 featuring a 1296 cc four‑cylinder engine. Enthusiasts note that, provided the chassis and outriggers are sound, parts are reasonably easy to source from specialist suppliers.
