The E type Adelaide tram was a class of 20 bogie, half open, half closed combination trams with one drop and one straight sill end built by A Pengelly & Co, Adelaide in 1910 for the Municipal Tramways Trust (MTT). In 1918/19, all were remotored with 65 hp General Electric 201s with the original 50 hp General Electric 202s reused in the C type trams. When the MTT introduced an alpha classification system in 1923, they were designated the E type. In 1936, all were converted to E1s with crossbenches removed and the saloon extended along the full length."Adelaide's Desert Gold Trams" Trolley Wire issue 237 May 1989 page 4"Adelaide's Toastrack Trams" Trolley Wire issue 258 August 1994 page 3E type tram 118 (1910) Tramway Museum, St Kilda
