In 1986, to comply with the Transport Act 1985 the assets of Ipswich Corporation were transferred to what is now known as Ipswich Buses. Built by the Associated Equipment Company between 1954 and 1969 – when the last of them entered serviced, the Regent V was a front-engined double decker bus and was used extensively by bus companies around Britain at the time including by Ipswich Corporation.
