My first car - with pics

[HarryOfTheWeb]

there easy enough to lower, cut the front springs, mkiv spitfire leaf on the back, it improves the handling too.

yep, black number plates is on my list. fuel filler cap is a temp one, should be chrome really, but since these pics i've sprayed it matt black so it stands out less. the fuel filler cap that is not the car lol.

Just thought I would say that is a fantastic first car, and please don't lower it!!

 

[Janesy B]

Lower it slightly and add period Minilites/Superlites

 

[Jez]

Dont lower it, keep it standard! It's a lovely classic currently.

Absolutely agree, lowering it will look stupid and spoil it completely.

Proof, if it were needed, that BBS rims work on literally anything.

 

[Fr0dders]

thanks

but there is quite a few modded heralds vitesses about, mostly lowered on revos or minilites. Don't worry anyway I won't be doing anything anytime soon due to lack of time and money. When the tires need replacing though I might put it on white walls, and paint the wheels the same colour blue as the darker blue that is on the body, and keep the chrome hub cap.

any photos ?

the photoshops done so far make it look silly.

Props on the awesome car. I bet if you'd suggested you were going to buy one of these as your first/second car people would have been flaming like mad

 

[ajstan]

OP can we have some more photos of the inside and boot, I am fascinated by this car

Leave it original and look after it - when you're finsihed with it hopefully someone else will do the same.

And if you do, chances are it will have gone up in value.

heres a herald, albeit a convertible, on white walls which looks quite good to me

its already worth more than ive paid for it tbf, i paid £1000 for it, i took it to a specialist who reckons it's between £2500-£3000 if i were to sell it now.

Great choice. This was my first car back in '96:

Shinier than that when I first got it and all the same colour. Mine was 1961 which makes yours older than mine was when I first got it. Jealous

I hope you don't have an accident in that! Euro NCAP of -100!

As it's your first car, you will crash it, i would prefer to be in one with airbags etc!!

Do you guys seriously think you die in old cars in any crash? Jesus. Man up a bit fellas. I hit a parked car pretty much smack on at 45 without seatbelts and I just got out and rolled it out the road so it wasn't in the way. The Saxo I hit got obliterated though.

Congrats on the car very cool, sort yourself out a chrome roof rack for some surfboard action...

 

[seth]

[Trifid]

Some of us just don't care about winter and its elements, I drive around with the roof down in winter!
