Pardon me for not minding my own business, but:
Stop! Hold it right there! Go no further!
Saloons are much scarcer in the U.S. than convertibles. Your car
has a lot of intrinsic interest for American Triumph nuts exactly
as it is. If you want a Herald convertible, may I be so bold as
to suggest you find some raving lunatic who has too many already
(and you all know who I mean) and offer to swap for one. Or
offer it up for sale and buy a (fairly available) convertible
with the proceeds.
Converting to a proper convertible will be an arduous job, full
of fabrication. In fact, to do it right you'll have to get some
body tub components (better yet, the whole tub) from a yard. I
seriously suggest it would be easier (and may I say, kinder to
this rarity) to just go out and buy a decent convertible in the
first place. I'm tempted to make you an offer for it myself,
where are you located?
Good Luck!

'65 Some kind of wacky Herald Convertible with dual headlamps and
a six-banger. Musta been a factory prank.
