History

The AEC Regal IV was AEC's first mainstream underfloor engined vehicle. A prototype was built in 1949, before production commenced in 1952.[1] The first 25 were built to the maximum permissible length of 8.4 metres (28 ft) for London Transport before maximum length for PSVs increased to 9.1 metres (30 ft).[2][3]

Over 2,600 were built, London Transport was the largest operator, purchasing over 700, while British European Airways purchased 64 as coaches.[4][5] Production for UK market finished in 1955 with the introduction of the AEC Reliance but it remained in production for export markets until the 1960s.[2]
