Plastic Bumpers?

Didn't some versions of this car have early examples of plastic bumpers? Jason404 (talk) 13:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I can't say for sure (so this is a low-value reply! ;-). But some of them were painted in such a way they looked like they had a plastic coating, while in fact still being steel underneath. Could that be what you're thinking of? – Kieran T ^(talk) 13:16, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Early cars had painted steel bumpers, later cars had white rubber strips added to stop minor scruffs and abrasions from parking. Alpinemauve (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Images

I would have guessed that the image of the van should be inserted at the point where the van is mentioned in the text. Why is this deemed to be poor positioning? Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Sports 1200

A recent episode of My Classic Car featured a Triumph Sports 1200 4-seat convertible. This would be a Herald? AMCKen (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Cactus Green?

Not a Triumph colour of which I am aware. You may have either "Conifer" or "Laurel".

Triumph Herald Sister Car

People don’t realize this, but the powertrain was also used in the Triumph Spitfire. 2601:283:C100:3320:A511:717C:3797:3459 (talk) 22:14, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

4 Door Triumph Herald

I am surprised there is no reference here to the 4 door Triumph Herald estate. My mother owned a 4 door Triumph Herald estate in the 1970s. One of the reasons I remember the car so well was because of just how hard it was, for me at least as I was then a small child with small hands, to open the back side doors; they had a stiff, very counterintuitive and complicated lever mechanism to open the doors with and so often my infuriated mother would have to open the door for me, to let me out. Actually aside from having 4 doors, it was a very standard looking Triumph Herald, it was definitely not the Gazel version, and neither of my parents had anything to do with India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.187.252 (talk) 10:18, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
