Many Ipswich Atlanteans during the 1980's had all over adverts including 34 SDX 34R which had previously worn an Britannia all over advert, but by the time this photo was taken possibly around 1983 it had an wrap around advert for Ipswich Car Radio of Woodbridge Road, to the left is AEC Regent V 63 ADX 63B on the 4.
 Now i can't work out what this advertising it looks like windows the company looks like Posh Windows of 2 Beardsmore Park, Martlesham, Ipswich the bus concerned is Eastern Counties VR 290 VEX 290X in November 1993 heading out on the short version of the 94 to Wherstead Road Bridge.
1990 saw this Eastern Counties Leyland National LN 763 XNG 763S gain this rather tasteful Averills of Norwich, advertising BMW cars, seen here outside what was the then Norwich Bus Depot.
