Larry,
The values for Heralds/Vitesses will be a bit lower than Spitfires
because of demand. Most people know about Spits, but not about
Heralds/Vitesses. Besides, most people will pay more for a sports car
than a sedan. Hey, nobady flame me here, I also own a Sports 6, so just
chill out. I'm just saying the general public usually has more passion
for open two-seaters than four seat cars. The four place Sports 6 will
be an awesome addition to my Triumph collection because I will be able
to take my family with me. It will never replace the Spit on passion
for me. But as we all know, prices are set by supply and demand. Don't
know how many Heralds were imported, but I bet there were more than 675!
