Chris A Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome to the band of eccentrics. Excellent taste nothing better than a 1968 convertible Herald 13/60 in white, unless it is in red. It took me a while to find the right one for me. Look everywhere, look every day and you will start to build up a picture of what is out there, what to avoid and what to want. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome Terry, I would go along to your local area and talk to the people there as they will have a lot of experience re buying a Herald. Plus its also good to meet other Classic car nuts! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris Yes there are so many versions of this great car and i like the coloured interiors be it...blue/tan or red... i think they represent the period of the car of which they were made so well... also the bodywork colours too! Liking yours there btw ? My search continues....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome Terry and good choice of colors. I have a 1969 Herald 13/60 Saloon, white with red interior and I just love the combination! I’m sure you will find this forum useful, let us know if you find one. Greetings from The Aaland Island, Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dyer Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thankyou Roger Your Herald dounds great and yes i just love the kinda old retro look of these lovely cars (to which they are very retro really) the tan interior looks good too! But i should concentrate on whats lies beneath the car really ha. Ive been looking and learning about these cars for a while now and in a position to buy Thanks again and greetings back to you from Essex (near London) England...

When I learnt to drive in 1970, in a Herald 13/60, they were (almost) the latest thing. OK so I am a dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool to have learnt to drive in a Herald... i did have a 68 mini myself and then Fords im afraid! As the song goes.... Wish i knew then what i know now when i was younger....

Dave pb Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thinking of selling my 13/60 convertible. 1970. Saffron body, black interior. Very good condition. Had it 15 years, stripped down and rebuilt it, and time for me to move on. Been a member here all that time. Lost most (all?) of my posts here on the 13/60 following the great website crash of a few years ago. Been working on my TR4 mainly for the last 3 years, and now doing some work on my GT6. Herald feeling a bit neglected! Dave ==== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we share photos here and where are you located... sorry but im a bit of a newbie to this forum Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave pb Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi Terry, if you look at the member details on the left, you can see their location, generally. I guess you need to put it in your personal account details if you want people to see it. Regarding photos , I think its the bottom of the reply box to attach files. As you can see I am in the Isle of Man. Bit of a way from Essex! Maybe a bridge too far (except there isn't a bridge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
