Heralds had a separate chassis but were notorious for rust. That is the main pitfall. Go over the whole thing with a bradawl and a magnet looking for any suspect bits. the 1.3 litre 13/60 had the best engine. Obviously convertibles are the most valuable. Vans the rarest.

My 18-year-old granddaughter will be getting her first car. She'll have about £5K to spend. Any recommendations, taking into account the expense of insurance and she'll have a Black Box fitted? Thanks.
