spotted this nice example of a Triumph Herald Convertible, down at Phillip island. Very late numbered Vic "H" plates and looks like a full restore. Not many of these left I imagine, most faded into the dirt.

Really nice examples Glenn, Not so long ago at the Mazda dealer near Blackheath I saw another beautiful example of the Mazda 1500 SSS in their yard second hand for $8999, obviously traded in, even at that price I think it looked worth every bit of that price!! |

I don't think they sold many SSS's at the time, as they were pretty expensive. Never seen one since that one i mentioned in the 70's. |

Don't mean to be picky, but they were 'SS'. There is one in the wreckers in Young, but all the SS bits are gone, save the grille. There was a pretty good 1500 deluxe on ebay recently, no bids at $2500. I was sure tempted, but no $. Dennis replaced his Bellett with one in 1968. Thanks for showing, cheers, Matt. |

Thanks for showing, cheers, Matt. thanks for the correction....... too long ago now to recall. SS was very rare though. I always thought the 1500 was a nice looking car, ahead of its time probably. Wonder how many were sold? |

happy co-incidence, the SS features on Utube by Wasabi cars. For those of you who don't follow this guy, he's an Australian living in japan, married i think to a Japanese Girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHUfA-UGuiU&feature=em-subs_digest |
