Triumph Herald 948 Saloon (1959 model) for sale
Current customer rating: (267 votes ) based onCondition wise. Well your not going to be winning a concourse trophy at a prestige show. but its all very honest & original. The respray is not the best & is now 14 years old. The reason behind the respray was because the original paint had been polished to death & was through to the primer in most places. Id have preferred the original worn out paint personally. but the 80 something year old owner wanted it shiny & new again. Some little bits of rust are appearing in corner & edge places on the outside where inperfections were filled for the respray. There are also what looks like all the original parking dents & bad panel fit of old still present. All honest original steel. The Chassis has been welded in the past in a few places & undersealed. But is rust free & straight. The interior is 99% original (the carpet set is a replacement set). The stitching has started to come apart on the top central edge of the back seat by the piping (but can easily be re-stitched as its not damaged). The seats & door trims are dirty but still all good (front seats could benefit from hew base webbing supports). The dashboard has some sun damage to the corners but has no cracks or deformity like most of these early fibreboard ones did. Basically inside looks kinda how you'd have expected it to look by the late 70's (condition wise that is). Full of character & still keeping that old Triumph smell. She starts easily (still wired positive earth) & ticks over nice. Doesnt smoke or rumble & drives well from cold. The steering is light. the brakes (drums all round) pull up sharp & square. nbsp;The gearchange is light & has that unmistakable whine from the non syncro straight cut first gear. The gate between first & reverse has worn out. but you instantly get used to it. The whole car squeeks & rattles like a Triumph Herald should. these early ones being the worse due to less sound proofing & not having rubber bonnet stops like the later ones. only some thin fabric straps. You hear & feel every clunk as you change gear & accelerate. Just like the early Spitfires & Sprites.
Anyway. The V5c Log Book is in my name & address. Mot'd until April next year & obviously tax exempt. All the keys are present & working like they were new. She has a new battery & new matching set of tyres. Ive also just serviced the engine & fitted a new starter solenoid. as she sat for a couple of years before I bought her. Better to be safe than sorry. The reg number is non transferable before you ask. Plus I am not interested in any swaps or part ex's as I could do with the space for my F100 thats coming home soon.
The price is £2500. The car is located in Plumstead SE London. You can message me on Ebay or call / text me on 07930 890427. This is a classified add so you can buy the car the old fashioned way. Call or message me any questions you like. come & look. if you like what you see. pay me & drive it home. Obviously this is a CASH SALE ONLY.
Thanks. Andy.
