In 1959, Standard-Triumph returned to the Triumph brand for its new small car, the Herald, which replaced the Standard Eight/Ten/Pennant line. The British car-makers were turning to the Italian design houses in search of a dash of style, and Triumph found it here with Michelotti.

3) Cut dependencies to US. Can't be trusted anymore, should be written off as hostile power.

Isn’t it amazing that absolutely no voter fraud happened.
