Remaining Cars
- Early 948 cc powered cars are rare, convertibles and coupes are especially sought after. Current figures have only 202.5 coupes remaining worldwide (948cc cars), many in Australia and the USA. Similarly 948cc convertibles were mostly exported, of which, only 42 are currently known to still exist worldwide. Later cars are more numerous.
- The Earls Court motor show of 1959 used a Triumph Herald Coupe, cut in half. This car survives and can be seen at Coventry Transport Museum. This adds the .5 to the total number of known surviving 948cc Triumph Herald Coupes.

Famous quotes containing the words remaining and/or cars:
“Because of the unusual remoteness of Russia, and because of nostalgia’s remaining throughout one’s life an insane companion, with whose heartrending oddities one is accustomed to put up in public, I feel no embarrassment in confessing to the sentimental stab of attachment to my first book.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
