General Comments
Well the Triumph Herald 13/60 is old but its an alternative to todays boy racer [i hate that term] cars,with 60's charm its a fun car to drive,people look at it and smile [lasses love it] although some [lads] think your an idiot,Light weight with good handerling for old car not bad power,top speed is only 85mph,rear whell drive so you can do donuts in wet weather,brakes no good due to no servo.Next its getting a respray like a 50's dragster [fire flames up sides etc] and inside getting money spent on it.Keeping a classic on the road is a real pleasure and brings a smile on your face has real soul about it.

I have owned a "few" of these annoying but at same time charming cars and agree with the writer.
<br>But the car in the photo looks to me like a 1200 !!!
<br>Cheers Joh.

Sounds a little like a boy racer himself. Who needs to go faster than 85mph and what do you want a servo for? Go down to the gym and grow some muscles.
<br>You surely don't want it to be like one of today's vehicles that totally insulates you from the road conditions!

I agree. I have spent many hours under my 13/60 and have had the present one for 12 years. I also think the one in the photo is a 1200.
