I may be wrong, but I believe at least some of them ended up in Victoria, B.C., where they were used as sightseeing buses. Some of our last trolleybuses were sold to Bradford, and I think that, when Bradford abandoned trolleybuses in about 1973, they were sold on to Santander in Spain, where they may well still be in use.

Here's a pic of 29 (I guess) on its way back. I can't attribute or credit the source of this pic, cos it was sent to me a couple of years ago and I just stored it with a selection of other pics accumulated over the years.
