Rita has been treated to a new distributor baseplate, points, condenser & spark plugs. I've also sprayed the rocker cover bronze which is close enough to original for me. I've also returned the radiator fan to black.
I've modified the choke cable to suit the SU H1 carburettors #TriumphHerald

This is Rita's first owner. She was Olguita Monsanto Queeny, daughter of the founder of the infamous American Monsanto corporation.
This was before she married Thomas Berington of Little Malvern Court and long before she owned Rita in 1960.

This is the first of probably a lot of photos of my Triumph Herald coupé. She's pictured here at the garage where she was probably ordered from in May 1960.
