The last of the first batch of four saloons delivered from the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham in 1905, F.32 consisted of two separate third class saloon areas originally, as with F.29-F.31; these third class vehicles were somewhat shorter than the later batch F.35 and F.36 which included first class accommodation.  They were originally purple lake and off-white, a scheme which remained until the outbreak of the Second World War with some variations, and at this point an austerity brown livery was applied.

Save for livery changes which began from 1946 when the familiar post-war red and cream livery was phased in, the saloons saw use on special services in the latter days of the Ramsey Line as Mooragh Specials.  The saloon remained in this guise until 1972 when it was fitted with bus-style windows and fixed bus seating in an effort to improve ventilation and comfort, at the same time as receiving the all-over red livery, neither of which did any favours to the appearance of this historic vehicle.  Only F.36 was to be left unmodified.

Chosen to form part of The Bar Set in 1980 together with F.31 and F.35, the traditional windows were refitted at this time, but the original large droplight was not reinstated and roof mounted torpedo vents were removed.  Internally new fixed seating was provided with brown leatherette seat covers and formica panelling, initially in maroon and cream, changing to red and white in 1985.  It would remain like this when the purple lake scheme was re-applied in 1992 when it was in the process of being adapted as a standard scheme across the fleet.

The carriage was extensively overhauled by off-site contractors in 2010 and when returned to traffic carried replica flip-over seating to match the originals; it was later withdrawn and converted to become part of the dining train, joining the set in 2014; it remains in this guise today, with a second corridor connection and dining seating.  It was last repainted in the early months of 2020 and retained the post-war livery of red and cream, but will ultimately be outshopped once again in purple lake, the first saloon to be so treated being F.31 in 2022.
