No 18 is shown here on its one and only run on the Ferrymead Tramway. Upon its return to the tram barn it was loaded onto a transporter for transfer to the City Tourist Tramway.

During its rebuilding it was discovered that there was lining out on the pillars underneath the trim holding the window glass in place. Perhaps this car started life as one of the 'skeleton' cars built after the disasterous depot fire of 4th December, 1880.
