Wolverhampton Garage

[4006]

Just a random one if anyone can tell me why 4001 is 2 inches lower than 4002? also why has 4001/2 have fold away ramps that are stowed near the doors but the other spectras have the normal fold out ones?

4001/2 were prototypes, 4003-22 were ordered after those two had been in use so the company got chance to change the spec to what they wanted.

4001/2 are lower than 4003-22, but I thought they were the same height. Is it just that 4002 has got a height sticker in it from the production batch or is it actually taller?

I'm pretty sure the height stickers are 4001 - 13'10" and 4002 - 14'00" ill try and clarify or if someone else can?
I persume the chassis would be the same and the bodywork is that which is different but why 2 inches and what difference would that make in any case?

Yes, that's correct. If I remember correctly, 244 served WN 11 first day, then on the second day, 244 served WN 54 pm peak board then went back to garage. Never seen 244 out since then.

4002 does appear to be a lowheight Spectra (Same as 4001)

To clarify 4002 is 14'00" as is 4017 for certain so it appears 4001 is the only one that is lower?
