Airfix Triumph Herald

The Triumph Herald, introduced in 1959, was looked upon as being quite a radical design.  Its tilt forward bonnet and unusual styling, along with all-round independent suspension were a breakaway from the traditional design theories of the era.  The original engine was a four cylinder, single carburettor 948cc unit which was enlarged to 1147cc with twin carburettors for certain models.  Other body styles available through the production years were Coupe, Convertible and Estate.
