The 12-50 designation, often shortened to "12/50", referred to the engine's power output of approximately 50 horsepower. The Herald 1200 12-50 was known for its peppy performance, agile handling, and distinctive styling, which made it a popular choice for both families and those seeking a stylish and practical daily driver. The car's compact dimensions and front-wheel drive layout, rare for its time, made it particularly adept at navigating narrow roads and urban traffic.
