AEC Regent II

The AEC Regent II was a front-engined double-decker bus built by AEC soon after the end of World War II in Europe. Despite officially being a new type it was very similar to the 1929 Regent. The Regent IIs were all documented as being new with the A173 (also known as the 7.7-litre) engine and a four speed sliding mesh gearbox. The only vehicles that were not standard was the 100 purchased by B.M.M.O. (Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Company), which were classified as O661/20 as the front had to be re-designed so they could carry similar bonnets and radiator grills that B.M.M.O. had designed for the double deckers they built themselves.
