Summary

[edit]
Description

Replacing the Standard 8 and 10 Saloons, the Triumph Herald was introduced in 1959, with its razor edge looks, brought Standard-Triumph right up with modern styling. Along with great all round visibility, it got a separate chassis rather than adopting the newer monocoque construction. The main body tub was bolted to the chassis and the whole front end hinged forward to allow access to the engine. The Vitesse was the 6 cyl version of the Herald, using most of the Heralds body panels but with a slanted 4 headlight front and 1596cc 6 cyl from the Vanguard. It was built from 1962-71 and available as Coupe or Convertible, 

In 1966 the Engine was upgraded to a 1998cc 6 cyl (2 litre badge on side of bonnet).
The Mk II introduced in 1968 got a new grille, better suspension and more power.
