The F-class was a class of two trams built by Duncan & Fraser, Adelaide for the Prahran & Malvern Tramways Trust (PMTT). Both passed to the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board on 2 February 1920 when it took over the PMTT becoming the F-class retaining their running numbers. They were built as summer cars with five doors on each side, being rebuilt in 1923 with some of the doors filled in and longitudinal seating.[1][2][3]
