I think that the car may be a Triumph Herald but will stand to be corrected.

Pretty sure Herald is correct but with Spitfire twin 1.25" SUs and (Sebring?) twin exhaust.

The last 5 seconds would be what would happen if I rebuilt a motor.

It's a mk3/4 Spitfire.

Sold mine last year.

They're similar on the inside, but its like saying Gina Rinehart is basically Elle Macpherson.

They also used the same engine in the MG Midget ..

.... only in the last Midgets though, thanks goodness. The previous A series, shared with Mini Cooper and Cooper S was way better than the Herald motor which had its origins in a 1950s Standard 10.
