      The actual seats in this case are, in fact, jump seats rather than being true rumble seats. The bottoms of rumble seats are fixed with padded seat backs attached to the lid where the spare tire is here.

      @@LarcRIf you look up the definition of both, they’re interchangeable, different vehicles used different terminology, but they served the same purposes. Some of the old cars had split bottom benches, some were solid depending on the manufacturer.

    Hi guys, greetings from the UK! You certainly did a fantastic job on this car. Like most British cars from this era the windscreen (sorry, windshield!) was hinged at the top so it could be screwed out in good weather (you can see the knob for doing that to the left of the speedometer) but first you had to "park" the wipers below the windscreen (sorry, windshield) hence the knobs for doing that. I see from the other comments that the rear seats are rumble seats but here in England the were known as "dickie" seats. Keep up the good work guys.

    Fun fact: rumble seats are called "Schwiegermuttersitz" in german which would translate to something like "mother in law seat". Since that's where you would have your mother in law to be seated when driving down the road

    I was lucky enough to buy one of these in 1966 when it was just another old car, before ‘classics’ were thought of. I paid £90 sterling for it and kept it for seven years. I got another one to do up in 2015 on a nostalgia trip. Great old cars if you have the patience for their little foibles!

      The 1948 Triumph was a 1800 engine. I had a 1949 which had the 2 liter engine. They were built after the war using the left over ash framing from the fighter planes. Body work is Aluminum except for the front wings which are steel. The chassis is 2 large steel tubes. The floors are made from wood. Yes it has 2 Dickey seats in the boot (trunk) which folder down so you can store luggage in it. They are a bugger to drive when you get up to 50-60mph the front end drifts all over the place.
      Good luck getting it running great fun car
