Ipswich, Colchester , Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft held many similarities to what types of Buses that they ordered, although on the AEC Regent V's Colchester, Yarmouth  and Lowestoft had Massey bodies, Ipswich took East Lancs(Neepsend) before taking Massey bodies for the last two batches 63/64,65-68, above with the Massey body is Colchester 22 194 MNO, while with Ipswich is 45 OPV 45.

 Further up the coast both Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth took AEC Swifts, Great Yarmouth initially took Swifts with Willowbrook as did Ipswich before both took others in Yarmouth's case it's final batch was locally built by E.C.W, which Lowestoft also took for it's final two in 1973 as shown by 83 WEX 683M, Ipswich went for the particularly ugly East Lancs body on 89-93, seen above with 90 DDX 90L,while Great Yarmouth loved it's Swifts the same couldn't have been said for Ipswich which had comparatively short life spans of between 10-12 years.
