1965 Triumph Herald 1200 – Unreserved Classic Restoration Project
This 1965 Triumph Herald 1200 is offered unreserved, presenting a unique opportunity for classic car enthusiasts looking for a restoration project. Finished in red, this Herald is a true British classic, known for its compact design, rear-wheel drive layout, and characterful styling.
While this particular vehicle was not owned by any celebrities, the Triumph Herald model itself has a fascinating history, with notable past owners including John Lennon of The Beatles and Prince Charles during his university days. The model also made an appearance in the cult TV series 'The Prisoner', driven by Patrick McGoohan, adding a touch of pop culture fame to its legacy.
Powered by an 1147cc 1.1L inline-four petrol engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this Triumph Herald is currently a non-runner, requiring mechanical attention to bring it back to life. The vehicle comes with no battery, and the keys provided only operate the door locks, not the ignition, suggesting the need for replacement parts or re-keying.
The exterior shows significant rust and paint chipping, offering an authentic patina or a canvas for a full restoration. The driver’s side handle is off, with a spare included, and the driver's side interior trim is coming away, indicating the need for interior refurbishment. Additionally, the boot does not open fully, requiring adjustment or repair.
The car is offered with spare parts and an additional door, providing a head start for restoration. The Herald 1200 is a classic British model, admired for its simple mechanics and ease of restoration, making it a great choice for beginners and experienced restorers alike.
Whether you envision a full restoration, a custom project, or a patina build, this 1965 Triumph Herald 1200 offers plenty of potential and the chance to create a truly unique classic car. With the right care and attention, this Triumph could once again become a charming classic cruiser or a standout show car, capturing the spirit of its era and reflecting the rich history of the Triumph brand.
