... released in 1964, and in its turn was replaced by the Herald 13/60 in 1967. The model numbers (12/50 and 13/60) related to the engine size and the maximum brake horsepower of the engine. Hence the Herald 12/50 had a 1200cc engine, and could achieve 50bhp, while the faster 13/60 models had a 1300cc engine, and could manage 60bhp. It was never a fast car, even in its later "sporty" 13/60 guise. The original 948cc engine could only manage a top speed of 73mph, and took a staggering 30 seconds to wind up to 60mp...more
