steveo Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Screw the number plate on & give it a polish and will probably be better than mine ! We love our 13/60, ace little cars, fun & cheap to run / maintain, happy motoring. Cheers, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon holland Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thanks for the welcomes it's a surprising solid little car but it has been inside for a long time the clocks say 46k which could be genuine with it been parked up for so long every rubber part on the car needs replacing which shouldn't take to long hopfully be a quick project unlike my jeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard and ask away any time for help or information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon holland Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 The motor is currently not running it turns over but wont fire and the carb is leaking but I've not had a proper look at it yet as I need to get it back on the dvla system so I can get a logbook before I want to start chucking money at it, also need to look at the rear suspension as it has some stramge camber at the moment after changing all the rubber components and a few more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're new to Heralds you may not be aware that they ALWAYS sit up on tippy toes at the rear when you've jacked them up and put them back down. You need to roll it at least 50 yards before it settles to the normal camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to roll it at least 50 yards before it settles to the normal camber. Also best to do the final tightening of the bolts of any rubber suspension bushes once the cars back on the ground and wheels in normal position. This ensures the bushes arent under tension all the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Has potential, the boot for starters is better than mine was!!. The driver footwell was virtually non existant!. Get it running and go from there.👍 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
