Hi Soren
Heralds did come in Convertables and hard top. Im not sure where or If they were imported to Denmark or not. I know there were many more Convertables than hard top Vitesse's here in the States.
Have a look here for some great information

Also here for more great info and a bit closer to home.

Its hard to say what the value would be on any car without seeing it, But If you ask a bit more you will find someone who will have a better idea.
Good luck!
 
This is an all-too-common way to advertise a Herald for sale. It is also, intentional or unintentional, a FALSE way to advertise a Herald for sale.

There are, of course, genuine Herald convertibles. These cars, if original, will have a suffix in the commission number of either "LCV" or "CV"; the "L" denotes left-hand drive, but there is no code for right-hand drive.

The vast majority of Heralds built, however, were saloons (sedans as we Americans call them). These will have a suffix of "[L]DL" or possibly "..DLRS"; the latter "RS" refers to a car built at the factory with a "sunshine" roof.

Where the confusion comes in is that this roof (and the similar roof on the fairly rare coupé model up to 1964) can be removed from the car with just a few bolts undone! Many, many people do just this to enjoy open-air motoring, but it really is not recommended to do this for any length of time. When I see an advertisement such as the one you mention, I always suspect that the car is really a saloon and that the roof is either in another part of the seller's garage or is lost completely. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

As for possible value, I really cannot say from my own perspective here in the United States. You might want to try contacting the Triumph Sports Six Club Denmark:

Jens Conrad
Parkvaenget 6
8600
Silkeborg
Denmark

I cannot find a web address for them, but there are other Triumph clubs in nearby countries such as Norway: <https://www.norsktriumphklubb.no/>. And there is a worldwide e-mail list dedicated to Triumph Heralds (but I don't know if Forum rules allow me to mention it; contact me privately for more information).
