The Herald 13/60
A brief history & specification
for those who don't know!

The last derivative of the successful Herald range appeared in 1967, the Herald 13/60. The 13/60, as the name suggests, used a 1300 (1296cc), 60 (61bhp) engine shared with the Spitfire. This lively little engine ensured that the Herald could still keep its sporty, economical performance that had made it so popular when it first appeared.

To distinguish the 13/60 from earlier models a new grille and bonnet were fitted in a style similar to the six cylinder Vitesse model. The interior received some minor improvements and in this form the 13/60 survived until production of all Herald models ended in 1971.

Paint and Trim Codes:

Triumph used a number code for describing their body and trim colours on the VIN plate covering 9 basic colours which were then divided into shades. The last number being the basic colour (1=black,2=red etc) and the first number the shade (1st shade, 2nd shade etc) therefore a paint code of 26 gives us the second shade of basic colour 6. From the chart we can see that basic colour 6 is blue and second shade is Wedgewood.
Two tone colours are seperated by a slash with the main colour first, so 26/19 is Wedgewood blue over Triumph White.
Interior trim colour follows the same principal but is proceded by H for leather and C for cloth. If there is no prefix then material is leathercloth (Vinyl).
