Owned a 1964 Herald in the early 1970s as well (inherited from my mother-in-law). Loved it - it was a sweet little car. I ran it for years. It was eventually joined by my eldest son's first car - almost identical - and a third one for luck and spares. It finally rusted away and I sold it for its registration plate. Don't think I ever kept a photo of it. Which I regret.
Other cars of the time were my first, a 15 month old Standard 10 owned from 1959 (and by far the newest for a further couple of decades);
the second, and perhaps the flashiest, a 1958 Singer Gazelle convertible;
the third, and probably the poshest, a 1961 Mark 2 Jaguar 2.4 (which was beautiful, not at all new, unreliable, expensive to repair and a constant nagging worry as a result). Elder son standing proudly by the side of it.
I had to be content with more basic stuff for a long, long time after that - Wolseley 1500, Austin 1800, Maxi and the odd, rusting and very dull banger. All old. Mortgage and feeding the family took priority.
(The first two of these posted previously. I think. But not the Jag.)
