kashingley Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hi I have just been offered a 1961 Herald coupe with above registration, it looks like any other coupe accept the petrol tank is behind the seats and the filler cap is where a spitfire usually is? this coupe is unrestored tub and looks like it has never has a filler cap in the rear wing where you would expect to see it. The car is green a white/cream. The only other cars which I can see is some of the old racing cars where they moved the filler cap to the centre does anyone know any thing about this car, it is on the dvla data base as triumph make unknown??? and help would be appreciated. many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 How odd. Is there no sign of a patch on the wing? Maybe have a look inside the wheel arch. Where would you get a blank wing? Presumably it has a Spitfire tank? DVLA says it's not been taxed for 32 years, a lot of work required I think! Here's an American wondering what to do about his rusty herald tank and the response "fit a spitfire tank" followed by some interesting pictures. https://www.triumphexp.com/phorum/read.php?23,888703 Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Bill Davies or Dave Pearson may have some idea if it is factory produced.... but my gut feeling is it may have been an owner conversion a long time ago. Not too hard to do an invisible repair/patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
