No. 33 was an open top unvestibuled car built by 'Dick, Kerr' at Preston in 1902 for the Gravesend & Northfleet Company seating 34/34 and running on a Brill 22E reversed maximum traction truck. In 1905 it was purchased by SMET, given No. 33, allocated to class 'O', and later had 'Spencer Hoops' fitted It was put into storage at Fulwell Depot in Oct 1931, and in 1934, after SMET and its assets were taken over by London Transport (LT) the year before, was broken up.

The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952.
