bit differance in the early car manual. heres an interesting one from a later 1200 12/50 manual . worth looking under the washer bottle?

Just thinking about it. what keys that came with a new triumph herald back then. How many keys and if any were multi use like later cars. I.e. one for the ignition and one for everything else. I think my 13/60 and the 12/50 I had only had two keys one for ignition and one for boot doors and glove box. But I don't think I ever locked a glove box. Nothing I had back then was valuable enough to lock it away. Only my car 🚗

oo! that would be good. boot number is 921 that one does work in the boot lock I've checked 😀

It's been such a long time I have been restoring this coupe I am not 100% sure if they are the right keys . I can remember that when I bought the car there were two keys, one was stuck in the ignition. And I mean stuck. The other I was told was the boot but never tried it as the day after I drove it home I started stripping it down, and I have been at it ever since. COLIN ; I checked all over but key number. Time to search shows, auto jumbles.

well done Jim.... it worked. had to fiddle around with it a bit but once I made the tounge long enough it work well. push up the top of the dash while inserting the hook card slide it along and twist it a bit... job done. 😀 heres the tool.. old TSSC card did work well and the catch to get around just need to figure out how to find a key for the lock now, as there are no markings on the lock unlike the ingnition thanks to you all for your help

Hmmmm! Tried it all Nearly had it with a bit of credit card so working along those lines.... Might need a lock smith 🤔

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll give it all a go and let you know how I get on 🙂

Hi hope some one can help. for some reson my glovebox lock on my 1959 herald coupe has decided to lock shut and not respond to the key. I've tried all my keys. anyone know if there is a way to open it without dismantling the dash?

For me it was a yellow and white Coupe owned by my an Auntie of mine. probably would have been about 1964 or 5 I was very very young. This picture is from one of Uncle Barrys home movies I have, so have no Idea of the year but it started me off wanting one. I had the corgi models as you did back then even made a scalextric version ( don't know what happened to that) Mum and Dad had several Triunphs, heralds, vitesses, gt6, PI, 2000, so when I laernt to drive in 1978 my first car was a Herald. bought from my brother because he had bought a Vitesse, it was a vilencia blue convertable. I rebuilt it and painted it Yellow and White (who'd a thought it) But I still wanted a Coupe, so bought a basket case for £100 and still have it, and am still rebuiling it, it's never been on the road since I bought it in 1980 but I live in hope. It's not going to be Yellow and White ( i've done that) so It's the origanal colour black and white. this is when I got it home. and this is it now 43 years later. I have done everything myself and enjoyed very minute.

The base doesn't fit around the wheel panel like on the saloon. They are just square edged. There have been several old new stock seat base and some rear parts for sale on flaebay recently.

Agree. Local post office ( if you have one) every time. Consistently cheeper then eBay.

Gloucestershire Vintage and Country Extravaganza 4th to 6th August Brilliant show well worth a visit. Wish I could get my coupe there. Maybe next year. (Note to self: must do more in the garage 😁) but we'll still enjoy being on the stall 😁 https://www.glosvintageextravaganza.co.uk/

Russbuster's 1_2_1 two pack is really good and over paintable once cured. And is hard as nails. They do other colours even spacial mixes I believe https://www.rust.co.uk/product/em121-epoxy-rust-proofing-paint-black/

Bit of t-cut no problem 😁
