40 years ago we used to spend our summer holiday with a lovely couple in Penzance. He was an osteopath and she physiotherapist. Both had a colourful past and hers included cars. I recall stories of her thrashing her Vitesse. She said she soon learnt to carry a couple of bags of sand in the boot to improve the grip.

Negative camber in the rear wheels. What fun that was.

The story that I remember about my Herald is that I had to borrow the works van to take some heavy items to a site I was surveying so I left the Herald in the capable hands of the regular van driver who was also a friend, so he could take it home for me.

When I got back home he was shaking like a leaf as, when he drove it over a railway bridge on his journey home, the bonnet popped open. Now on a Herald that means the whole front end including front wings, hinges forward giving no view to the front at all.

The only benefit of that is that you could sit on the front wheels while you searched the engine for starting problems.
