The Triumph Herald was a small 2-door from the sketchbook of Giovanni Michelotti (famous for the Triumph Spitfire and BMW 2002 designs) and the manufacturing plant of the Standard-Triumph Company of Coventry. The lightweight body-on-frame type chassis was used on several cars after it went out of production, including the Vitesse, Spitfire and GT6 (all of these cars use a hinged-foward hood & fender section for engine bay access, part of the original Herald design).

Another day, another oddball car that you've probably never seen before and might not have known of its existence. At least, that's what I thought when I stumbled onto this next car. It is a Triumph Sport 6, which was a convertible version of the Triumph Vitesse 6...and appears to be a combination of Triumph Herald mechanical bits with Giovanni Michelotti styling...not bad at all. Find this 1964 Triumph Sport 6 here on eBay bidding for $510 reserve-not-met with 4 days to go, located in Lompoc, CA.
