[TR] 1948 triumph rumble seat roadster

[Geo Hahn]

Fairly rare but its looks and performance may be something of an acquired
taste.

A local friend had one until recently and I recall a fellow in Encino who
had a fleet of them:


Triumph pioneered disc brakes - but could also be known as the last
manufacturer to give up the rumble seat (or Dickey Seat as Brits would call
it).

IMO - not something one would restore hoping for a dollar return - should
only be restored for the love of the car.
