4073 is a production Metrocar built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath, Birmingham. It is the only surviving metrocar to still use original announcements. The audio announcements produced by the unit sound female, as opposed to other metrocars which now use audio announcements voiced by Mark Bryant. These female announcements are heard on all units coupled to 4073, but only when 4073 is the leading unit. Some of the messages shown on the interior displays are also worded slightly differently to those on other metrocars, regardless of whether 4073 is the leading unit but not affecting other units coupled to 4073.
