This car was based on the Triumph Herald, the most maneouvrable car in its class which could be assembled off-line in ten minutes by a few workmen.This is a Triumph Vitesse.
The main difference with the Herald Convertible?
The little engine was replaced by a two-litre straight six, with or without Injection, it had four, slanted headlights(which I think look superb, and which were not fakes like the modern Jaguar X)and it had alloy wheels.
I used to hanker after the GT6, until I discovered that this drop-top had the same engine.
Mouth-watering.
Note the Rubber fender strips;years ahead of their time, and far more resilient than modern mouldings.
