Ipswich Buses AEC Regent III / Park Royal 24
Ipswich's first motor buses were AEC Regent III with Park Royal bodywork in 1950. Up until then the town was served by trolleybuses. This was the last Regent III delivered in 1956, 24 (EPV24). Deliveries then switched to the Regent V. Now preserved, 24 was seen at Southsea in 2003 alongside Swindon's preserved Weymann bodied Daimler CVD6, 112 (UMR112).

Another secondhand acquisition was 38 (H705PTW), formerly in the Dublin Bus fleet as RH38 (90D1038) and interestingly rebuilt from dual door. It was one of the first buses to adopt the new livery and is seen here at SHOWBUS international in 2003, the year it joined the fleet. The Olympian has gained the name WESTERN SOVEREIGN.
