Drophead?... it's known as Convertible in our european countries, is it the proper name for US versions? |

A ma connaissance les Herald convertibles se sont toujours appelées...Herald convertibles, même aux USA. Le coté "Drophead" vient de l'étirement de la photo. Le modèle ci-dessus doit être une 1200, elle semble badgée à l'arrière droit. |

No. Drophead is just a generic British term for convertible. |

This car carries a licence-plate from the UK. -- Last edit: 2012-10-14 18:46:25 (Sandie) |

LHD and 64+ export grille (from 12/50). If it is a UK plate underneath (and format looks correct) it does not end in a B or C suffix - looks like a 2 to me - which is a bit confusing. Where is this set? |

It's set near Nassau, Bahamas. |

This is very likely a real Nassau, Bahamas registered Herald. I personally own a 1968 Herald 13/60 convertible that was sold new by the Nassau Motor Co. Ltd. Speaking with a former Triumph employee who worked for Nassau Motor Co. (and still does, as the dealership still exists as a Chevy/Honda dealer), the Heralds were very popular as rental/hire cars as they were easy to drive by tourists. The UK-style number plate matches what was issued in Nassau at the time. It looks like an N suffix, and the P is blocked out - the plate would start with NP for New Providence (Nassau). The smaller plate is a rental/hire car plate - these were mounted over the permanent registration plate (and I imagine removed if the car was ever sold to a private owner). My Herald still has it's original Nassau number plate and it is identical to the British-made plates except for the number sequence - my plate only has four numbers, given the number of auto registrations on the islands were relatively low. Here's two good links on the Nassau number plates: http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/world/AT_BSNA.html https://blog.europlate.org.uk/category/bahamas/ What's funny is that most of the cars exported to Nassau were left hand drive (including my Herald, just like the one in Thunderball), yet they drove on the left as in the UK! Not sure about the logic in that, although American cars were also quite common. -- Last edit: 2018-08-03 08:18:08 |
