Ipswich's first motor buses were AEC Regent III with Park Royal bodywork in 1950. Up until then the town was served by trolleybuses. The last Regent III was 24 (EPV24) delivered in 1956. Both Ipswich and Swindon were in the throws of celebrating their centenaries in 2003 so 24 is seen alongside Swindon's preserved Daimler CVD6, 112 (UMR112) at Southsea that year.
