Tipidave Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I have a 1965 herald 1200 convertible that does not have any rubber bumpers front or back. My question is whether or not this is correct or whether they have been lost at some point. Any opinion gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'd guess that it probably had them when new. They were an optional extra in early cars before becoming standard in 1962, so I'd hardly see anyone in 1965 asking for a non-bumpered Herald as that would make it look dated instead of brand new. The front and rear valences that they fit over rust out, or get damaged, and replacements are usually supplied without the bumpers, so that the owner can add them or leave off as required. These days unless you want full originality, it's your choice whether to fit them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
