HTT M No 8

This tram was built for the Hawthorn Tramways Trust by Duncan & Fraser of Adelaide in 1916. It was subsequently taken over by the M&MTB in 1920, and renumbered 114. In 1930, this car, along with several others, was sold to ESV for service in Bendigo, where it was taken into the fleet as No 3. The SECV took over ownership of the Bendigo tramways in 1931, retaining this car. It was never modified for use as a one-man car, and it was removed from service in 1956. Subsequently, it was donated by the SECV to the AETA, and passed to the ownership of the TMSV in 1963. This tram sat at the back of Malvern Depot for many years.

In 1992, this tramcar was placed on 25-year loan to the Victorian State Government, who undertook a major restoration of this tramcar at Preston Workshops, restoring it back to near original condition as Hawthorn No 8. It is currently part of the Heritage Tramcar Fleet.
