Sole survivor of the streamlined Marton Vambac trams, Blackpool No 11 has been superbly restored by the East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville.

This class were delivered to Blackpool in 1939 from English Electric as semi-open sun saloons. They were enclosed during the second world war and in the late 40s were fitted with Vambac equipment and transferred to the Marton Route, where they saw service until the route's closure. All but one were scrapped in the early 1960s.
