[Interior light for my Herald 13/60 Estate]

I bought one new and boxed from Mick Dolphin at the Stafford show many years ago, which I fitted to my 1200 estate - he might be worth a try again. I've no idea if the lens was ever used in any other Triumph but it's quite a distinctive lens, curved and with a clear magnifying section at the bottom. The spare baseplate I have is at the bottom.

Guess what? Canleys might have one, it's listed on their website.

Rimmers are also listing them as new.

Hi Colin,

I appreciated your pointing me to the dealers, but to no avail.

Mick Dolphin didn't answer my mail, Canley and Rimmer sold their last item this year.

Hopefully I `ll be lucky in Stoneleigh next year.

Sorry for not replying to the topic since Thursday but I was distracted by a fire in my carport which affected not only my Courier `s front RH wing, but nearly destroyed

my Vitesse convertible. It is totally devastating as the convertible was the one of my Triumphs that was in a real proper condition. 

But now back to the rear interior roof lamp.

@Colin Lindsay: THX for the hint to the dealers. Will contact them asap.

have a good night

Hello,

I am searching the interior light which brightens up the rear load area. Sorry for not knowing the proper name.

Anyone out there to sell me a complete one, lamp with base unit 

Or any hint where to head for?

THX

[Herald Coupe]

Hi ZW..,

 

Sorry for coming back to you quite late. I haven `t visited the forum so far . That `s why I was a very " slow responder ".

I am afraid that my Coupe is in the same state of "rebuild " as yours.

Chassis and axles done,chassis painted in Lichfield Green as the pre-owner liked to change colour from an original Alpine Mauve/ Sebring White to a more popular 

Lichfield Green.Bodywise the crucial work has been done but bonnet ,doors and boot lid still need some tlc.

Still searching for somebody to do the paint for reasonable money.

 

have a good night

Good evening,

 

As I am willing to start my Coupe renovation , I am very interested in Pictures from Herald Coupes from out-and inside.

I couldn't visit " Coupe Sunday " at TriumFest and would appreciate any pics from there or anywhere else.

you could upload them here within the forum or send me an email to schwanenapotheke-weingarten at t-online.de

 

Thank you all in advance

 

kind regards

[Picture size]

Just trying to update my profile with a picture.

 

Tried to load using IMG and wont accept it... also tried a direct load but it says the pic is too big.... it can only load a 50kb file !!!!

 

WHAT !!! I could take a pic that size using a jam jar .....

 

 I am NOT reducing sizes of pics that I have to store on Photobucket, or anywhere else for that matter,as duplicates so how can I do this?

 

Don't have this problem with ANY OTHER FORUM, this is beginning to frustrate me along with all the other "quirks" this site seems to have such as the odd category setup... as posted elsewhere

 

Hi PTR200,

 

I did it my way on my Iphone.

I sent the pic for my profile pic as a mail to my on address.When sending you will be asked which size to choose.Ichoosed the " small " one,secured the pic from my mail in to my Iphone and uploaded from there into my profile.Bingo! Complicated?

 

good night

I would be impressed if you found one. Why not pop a standard 1200 engine in and see what you can find later. It will look fairly standard. Regarding colour. Why not use the scheme at time of build.

 

The only shortcut is that the vendor had still restored the Chassis and running

gear and painted it Lichfield Green, his favorite colour.

Should I stick to alpine mauve what I ' ll tend to I had to repaint chassis

and underside of floor.

By the Way. Did they paint the chassis on those early cars in black

or body colour?

Colourwise, I'd go back to Alpine Mauve/Sebring White as it is a rare combination on a rare car.  Enginewise, how about Coventry Climax?

Hi Mark,

are they still around,those engines? No ideas , what to look for?

..sorry, lost my picture during first post.

[(early) Herald in a basket]

 

and in bits and pieces.

A few years ago I acquired an unfinished resto project.

It was a 1960 Herald 948 Coupe,delivered to St .Helier Garages, Jersey.

Having collected it from Jersey on a trailer I figured out that I had invested more pounds in fuel/shipping that I had paid for the car.

After sitting around in my garage time has come to go ahead with it.

Originally the Coupe was Alpine Mauve /Sebring white, but the last owner had sprayed the chassis in Lichfield green.

I have not yet decided which color combination to choose from.Any suggestions?

To start with, I would like to collect as much information as possible.

Does anybody know anything about the history of the car?

 

Chassis Nr.  Y17855

Reg.Nr.    15017 ex Guernsey with previous Reg.Nr.  J 30006 and J 53224

 

Furthermore I would like to collect as many Coupe pictures as possible, being them exterior or interior ones .

Could you point me to photos of the recent Coupe Sunday at TriumFest or provide me with useful blogs /websites

which concentrate on Coupes.

All information very much appreciated!

regards

 

Hans

 

 

 

 

[Any plans for more categories ?]

The old Forum consisted of many more categories.For example , if I had a question on an early Herald Modell, I could post the question in the relevant section for 948/1200 Heralds. Thus I had the Maximum chance that at least the early Herald nerds and the respective

moderator would take notice of it and share their invaluable knowledge with us.

Any comment on that from the Moderators?

 

regards
