As far as I know all Heralds had this type of trim and NOT the furflex that
later Spitfires had. Alot of old English cars(I say English as I can't think
of many, other than Gilbern and a few Hillmans that can be called British! :-))
used this type of trim including Morris Minors and Austins of the period(the
50's and 60's), I think furflex was a 70's thing!!! a bit like flared trousers
and platform shoes!!!! :-)
