It is described as a “classic car with one
careful lady owner”.
But what makes this Triumph Herald so unusual is that it has covered
just 20 miles since it rolled off the production line 52 years ago.
Still sporting its original 1961 £15 tax disc, the blue and white car
was delivered to the buyer's home by trailer.
This is bizarre in 1961 a woman bought a Triumph Herald it was delivered
to her house by trailer and then she never drove it, and when she died her
family sold it back to the dealer who sold it to her, who’s now auctioning and
it expecting to make £12-15k.
It’s an interesting and bizarre story but it does throw up some
questions like who buys a car and then leaves it sitting on the drive, why buy
a car if you’re not going to drive it.
Also what dealer buys back a car he’s already sold, and this is the one
that really gets me how can it be worth £12-15k.
I understand that some old classic cars are worth fortunes because they are
rare or because of the heritage of the company that made them etc. but how can
a Triumph Herald from 1961 be worth more than a lot of brand new 2013 cars that
have just rolled off the production line.
It doesn’t make any sense to me whatsoever.
