    I assume you have seen this link which shows a photo of Lisbon Tram 327 and a few other bodies:-

    There is also mention of a restored tram Lisbon No.730 formerly stored at Walton on this link:-

    Cardiff and Avonside Railway Society visited Roger Harvey (owner) at Walton-on-the-Naze in 2013.
    They recorded the presence of the following trams:
    Gauge 900mm : Lisbon: 327, 614, 705, 711.
    Gauge 3ft 6" : Ipswich: (55) chassis only. Northampton: (21) lower deck

    You may be able to ask someone from Cardiff and Avonside Railway Society if they can tell you more.
