It was ordered by Mr omas Percy from the Drewry Car Company of London and built to a design by on its sub-frame before being tted with new side frames and exterior skins. e frames were constructed in the Hythe Shed using Iroko, a hardwood also known as African Teak and renowned for its durability and rich grain, but wherever possible original timber was retained. All the interior slatted seating was in remarkedly good condition and therefore retained, albeit with a fresh coating of varnish. Aluminium chequer-plate was tted to the oor, o ering protection for the original ooring beneath. New electrics installed and reglazed, the carriage was repositioned back on track for subsequent application of glass- bre to the roof and signwriting in advance of its re-entry into service in time for the Centenary Celebration.
