It seems that No. 21 liked the limelight. I have two postcard images of this car (attached below) . The earlier on I have dated as c1920, so when fairly new at an unidentified location. Note that the car has no top mounted destination box and lights. The second image I have dated around 1925 (based on passenger fashions) and shows the tram at Lenah Valley.
Thanks David,
The 1925 pic raises a question for me.
The top pane of the windscreen closest to the camera appears to have no glass - and certainly not red coloured glass.
If that is the case, perhaps at least that side was installed for improved ventilation. The staircase would have protected the driver from rain coming in.
