1967 Triumph Herald 1200 Estate. A rare, exceptionally documented classic with a remarkable Story, , Available soon is this charming and increasingly rare 1967 Triumph Herald 1200 Estate, a car with a genuinely fascinating history and an exceptional level of documentation. , The Herald was purchased new in 1967 from Greenwich Autos Ltd, Stockwell Street, London, by a gentleman who registered it under his business name, J. Nickells & Co Ltd, blind makers of Deptford, London. From the outset, the car enjoyed a gentle and respectful life. It was kept primarily for social use and occasional visits to local customers, while the owner relied on an Austin A35 van as his main business transport. As a result, the Herald was spared the hard working life that many estate cars endured. , The car was used regularly and enjoyed for 20 years, until 1987, when the original owner, then aged 86, made the decision to give up driving. From that point on, the Herald was laid up in the gentlemans garage at his home in Bromley, Kent, where it remained carefully stored for many years. , Ownership was transferred and a comprehensive and sympathetic recommissioning programme began, addressing the effects of long-term storage rather than neglect. This work included stripping down and rebuilding the front and rear suspension, along with the steering, and renewing the brake and fuel lines. Once the chassis and running gear had been properly attended to, the engine and transmission were carefully recommissioned to return the car to reliable road use. , In 2015, the car received a light cosmetic restoration, enhancing its appearance while preserving its originality and character Mechanical works undertaken included new front brake calipers, brake pads, track rod ends, ball joints, complete stainless steel exhaust and radial tyres. Since then, it has covered very few miles and today presents exactly as one would hope following such work, much as it would have done shortly after completion, honest, tidy, and full of period charm. , The car is accompanied by an outstanding comprehensive history file, containing numerous service and repair invoices, MOT certificates dating back to when the car was just four years old, old tax discs, the original owners handbook, and even an original Small Car magazine from 1962 featuring a detailed Triumph Herald profile and road test. As a particularly charming touch, a previous local owner kept a handwritten notebook recording every journey, distance covered, and fuel used, offering a wonderfully human insight into the cars life. , There have been just four previous owners from new. The car currently holds an MOT until October 2026 with no advisories, underlining its continued roadworthiness and careful upkeep. , Mechanically, the 1200cc engine is eager and willing, delivering the light, enjoyable driving experience for which the Herald is so well known. The estate body makes it both practical and distinctive, and the overall feel of the car is one of careful ownership rather than over-restoration. , This Triumph Herald Estate is not a concours showpiece, but something far better: a genuine, usable classic with real provenance, character, and heart. It represents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully documented piece of British motoring history, ready for its next custodian to continue the story.
