This is what happened to a few TD5's here in Orange after being decommissioned.
Rumour has it that one wasn't converted and is hiding here somewhere.

A friend that might know where this elusive bus is, is coming to visit in the next week or so and we will go searching for it.
I would like spares.

I drove one of these in the early 70's, those were the days the passengers couldn't talk to the driver
Norman Julian
These were retired from service in the late 50s and this one in 1960 but it looks similar to the OPD2s that would have been around in the 70s.
