Hi Leon & all
I'll claim sleep deprivation. Don't know why I called it a yak.
I didn't say the herald was designed on the boat, just that the idea of the
Herald was concieved on the boat ( amonst too much sherry? perhaps) & gross
lack of punctuation.
OK I'll bite what is the cour used on my early Herald instruments?
the dark grey ones? (plastic dash 59 herald)
the off white ones ? convertable
or the nearly black ones ? ( on the all plastic dash) 60 coupe'
All original equipt. as far as I can tell..clue Australian cars!
