Interestingly the DVLA have it as a red car which'd be worth one point whereas in green it's worth three.

Whatever that might mean

Yeah, I'm not sure about the Herald but a Spitfire as standard should have about 1 degree of positive camber on the fronts, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Herald was similar.

That said, that looks like a bit more than 1 degree?
I think a lot of the Triumph cars of that era shared similar suspension components and set up.

its a vitesse and it shouldn't look like that .The back wheels may do after going around a bend too quickly.

Sorry?!

Those parking what?!
Baize, as in the coarse felt-like woollen material that is typically green, used for covering billiard and card tables. Sounds a bit like bays, as in parking bays, so could be swapped about for a snooker pun in a thread about a John Virgo look a likey!

Homonym to 'bays' I believe is what the poster was trying to indicate

I expect the weight of the two adults in the rear seat are contributing to a "nose-up" attitude of the car and subsequently the front suspension angles.

And for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green.

Pink is always next to the brown.
