1971 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible *Project*

Description

• Perfect blank canvas ready to restore
• Welding done including new front floor pans

In 1967 Triumph updated their Herald range with the introduction of the 13/60. The front end had a revamp, the interior was made more spacious and the engine upgraded to 1296cc making it much more usable.

We are pleased to be offering this 1971 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible, not only because we believe that every car deserves to be saved, but we also feel that it is a perfect blank canvas for someone to put their own stamp on.

The vendor hasn’t owned the project very long at all, but he admits that enthusiasm has waned since making the purchase and he would love someone to ‘take the wheel’ and bring her back to life.

Originally finished in red, the shell had already been stripped down to bare metal and all the welding had been professionally carried out by the previous owner, including new front floor pans. We are told the body is solid.

As you can see from the photos, the engine and gearbox are currently out. The engine supplied is a later 13/60 1296 engine which our vendor tells us “runs sweet”. Engine number GK4527HE. There are also several boxes of parts present, which include:

• Windscreen
• Front seats
• Wiper motor and linkage
• Head lamps
• Tail lamps
• Bumper caps
• Wood dash
• Heater motor assembly
• Brake components

The vendor has advised of parts that he knows are NOT present, there may be others that he is not aware of at this time, please do satisfy yourself by contacting us to arrange to view the project.

• Grille
• Front valance
• Front bumper
• Rear seats
• Hood and hood frame
• Interior door cards and trim
• Instrument clocks/dials
• Battery

The tyres hold air but will need to be replaced due to their age.

The V5 is present. No other paperwork is present except for a photo of the Triumph Herald before it was stripped.

As previously stated, we recommend that you view this project to assure yourself of parts present before you bid.

In our opinion, as a solid blank canvas, this Triumph Herald Project has the potential to be brought back to life, whether that be as a concours restoration, track car, resto mod or dare we say it ………………………. an electric conversion! The choice is yours.

Good luck bidding! Please remember, our site uses anti-sniping software which ensures fairness to all bidders. So, if a bid for a lot is received in the last minute, the auction will go into a 2-minute overtime period for each subsequent bid.

Guide Prices?

We’re different. But you know that. And we’re always honest. In a sector where no two classics are same, how does anyone put a ‘guide’.

Well, everyone knows the broad value of classic, let’s all be honest. So we don’t need to tell you what you already know, do we.

The ‘market’ decides and the old cliché that ‘it’s worth what someone wants to pay’ is no less true. So why kid everyone!

But, because we are different, if it really does matter to you, that’s fine, we want you to be happy. Just drop us a line at auction@evoke-classics.com and one of us will be delighted to ring you back and discuss, it’s what we do.

Tedious but it’s vital you read this, please.

We will always strive to offer the most descriptive and transparent auction listings available. However, we can’t claim to be perfect. Your own analysis is very important and we are here to help and also answer any and all queries you may have prior to purchase.

We offer and positively encourage buyers to view, or arrange inspections for each vehicle thoroughly prior to bidding.

If we do take a physical, as opposed to a remote, look at any of the vehicles on our platform, they are not those of a qualified vehicle inspector or other professional. Nor do they include a test drive unless expressly stated.

As with all vehicles of a certain age, localised paint repairs are common. This specifically applies with classics.

So, please, unless we state explicitly to the contrary, please assume that classic vehicles on our platform could have had remedial bodywork of any kind at some point in its life.

Two final comments on images and photos.

The vast majority are supplied by vendors. Camera technology has and continues to improve significantly, but please note and understand that image and sound quality does vary. If you would like vendors to provide more images please ask us and we will contact the vendor for you.

If you are at all unsure, just ask us. It is what we are here for.

Finally, finally, finally. Please note that vehicles are sold as seen and a returns policy is not applicable. This is the norm for used items acquired at auction.
