Car Nos. 32–33 are a group of tramcars for the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.
The eighth and final batch of motorcars to arrive are all extant today. Nos. 32 and 33 were designed to haul two trailers when built but this was never a day-to-day feature of operation, although they have on occasion hauled two trailers in conjunction with enthusiasts events. No.32 is still in regular service.[3] No.33, however, is currently undergoing overhaul.[4]
