I couldn't quite read the wheelbase and such, either. But the engine spec's
are pure Herald 12/50, and brakes spec out to Vitesse 6 (9" disc front, 8"
drum rear). Steering wheel and column are also pure Herald, and most dash
instruments, controls and such are Herald or 1300. Wheels appear to be
"normal" Dunlop or Sankey, hubcaps are Herald, front side lamps are Herald
(or Spridget; either way, proprietary Lucas units).
Definitely in a class by itself at most Triumph meets, but certainly
acceptable at same. ;-)
