[TR] 1948 triumph rumble seat roadster

[glemon at neb.rr.com]

I am aware of at least two in decent condition in my own little (populationwise) state of Nebraska. 
By no means a big car, but as I recall bigger than a TR2-3 with less power.  But cool just for the "what is it?" Factor and the dicky  seat.

In 1949 it was replaced by the Triumph Roadster 2000 of which there about 2,500 made. The big difference was the size of the engine (1800cc vs 2000cc) and the transmission went from 4 speed to 3 speed with synchro in first.  They were not imported to the US but a lot of them ended up here it seems.

There are other parts changed but basically all there.  It is for sale in West Virginia, near Pipestem, if anyone is interested I took a few pictures.  Is this a rare car?
