   Long before the motor industry invented terms like platform-sharing and scalable architectures, Triumph was already doing it in the 1960s with the Spitfire (green car) and six-cylinder GT6 (yellow car), which were based on the Herald/Vitesse, a process facilitated by the Herald’s separate chassis and bolt-on panels, which made it easier to offer different body types. Photos taken at The Great British Car Journey in 2023. Back on the saloons tomorrow.

     @icemanfr75 @davidwilkins I owned one. A lot of fun to drive. I sold it because drivers in SUVs and pickup trucks kept merging into it. It was so low, they couldn't see me way down there. Even happened on a city street, lol.
