You either loved them or hated them, sadly no Eastern Counties Minibuses are preserved although one does exist somewhere in Suffolk, no Eastern Counties services thankfully were converted to minibuses in Ipswich the nearest you could see the above was a network of services with Ford Transit's was Felixstowe, nowadays these services are tacked onto the 75-77 operated today by First Ipswich, come 1990 Ipswich had 3 more additional Ford Transit/Dormobile in MB 965/66/68 C965/66/68 YAH and the slightly larger Mercedes Benz 608D/Alexander with 20 seats which originated from Norwich MB 711/24/54 C711/24/54 BEX. Meanwhile the dreaded Freight Rover Sherpa's allocated to Norwich and Lowestoft had literally burned themselves out were now parked up at Ipswich depot after just 3 years use out of 40 bought only 9 were in service by the beginning of 1990.
