I've always found these unique as they were all one of a kind. So come on people lets hear your opinions and what you remember because I'm curious and very keen to know.

A Stock cars 5132-6132 were very different to the finished product, with a mixture of low and high backed seats.
C Stock car 5585 retained the transverse seats but had new climbing frame bars as handholds in the vestibules.
'73 Stock unit 190 had folding metal luggage racks too.

What i would also like to know is how long did each prototype vehicle last in service I know that the D stock lasted from January 2002-November 2007 and I understand the 1973 prototype ran from January 1991-September 1996 but I might be wrong so just some clarification please :)
