Ex London Transport tram 1858 is seen in a field at Chessington Zoo
on 21 February 1960. Where it stayed for six years. Car 1858 was privately
purchased from LT by Peter Davis, who wanted to make sure a more modern
car was to be preserved as a museum piece. London Transport were to keep
two older cars for their museum.
One of a batch of cars built for the LCC (London County Council) in
1930, and designated HR2, for Hilly Route.
