I went to see the Herald today -- http://hometown.aol.com/herald1200/database/67sp1250.htm) -- and I am amazed. This car is completely original, one-owner, all original receipts, invoices, manuals, and every repair receipt ever.... The brown carpet -- brown with blue? -- isn't perfect, but original to the car, and I wouldn't replace it. ==AM== Likely that carpet was originally charcoal grey rayon carpet. Frankly, it wasn't superior quality, and sun and other exposure tended to turn it a bit brown before too long. (From what I've heard, The Roadster Factory has done such a good job sourcing original style charcoal grey rayon carpet as used in late TR3B and early TR4 that it also tends to fade to orangey-brown. ;-) ) ==AM== The front brakes are drums, which is interesting, as the Canadian 12/50 was supposed to have disks. But they're original equipment to this car. ==AM== Interesting! But I suspect that the Canadian 12/50 model wasn't really a complete parallel to the home market 12/50 and that front discs were, in fact, still optional as they were on US cars. ==AM== As you can tell, I'm take taken with this Herald. Unfortunately I can't raise the cash at this time :( Someone who loves Heralds heeds this car. ==AM== That would be yours truly; unfortunately I have the same lack of cash problem. :-( --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
