We are especially looking for any information on existing 948cc Triumph Herald saloons, coupes and convertibles (in any condition, full or part cars), ex owners of 948cc Triumph Heralds long gone and any ex Standard Triumph employees or their families. Help us build the information and share it with everyone!
Turn Left for Tangiers
Turn Left for Tangier is the story of the epic proving run journey of
two pre-production Triumph Heralds; WRW404 (A red a white saloon) and WRW405 (a blue and white coupe). The journey took place from October to November 1958 covering 9,650 miles.
A superb period book was printed, and is available on ebay at times,
which tells the story of this fantastic journey.
Below is an amazing contributon to the site - the actual log/diary of the event writen by Roy Smith, Standard Triumph test driver and member of the expedition. Click on the first icon below for the complete log. The first section is the diary - the second is day by day mileages.
