Standard-Triumph rewrote the small car rules in
The Herald Saloon featured two doors, a roomy boot and had the front hinged bonnet assembly also common to the rest of the range. Early Heralds were quite basic and the interior trim included a cardboard dashboard to save weight and costs. Power came from a tuned Standard 10, 948cc twin carb engine which gave the Herald lively performance.
