AEC 661T
British two-axle double deck trolleybus chassis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AEC 661T was a two-axle double deck trolleybus chassis manufactured by AEC between 1931 and 1942.[1] Based on the AEC Regent bus chassis, over 380 were built for United Kingdom and overseas operators.[2] Bodywork on early models was similar to that on the AEC Regent motor bus, with a half cab front and dummy radiator, but a full-fronted version was used from 1934.[3]
The first four vehicles were supplied to Southend Corporation.,[4] with orders following to many other municipal trolleybus operators.[1][2]
Several AEC 661Ts were later preserved, including examples formerly used in Portsmouth[5] Cleethorpes,[6] and Reading,[7] with the latter two being located at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft.
