Southend Corporation 207, JN9527, the first numerically of four AEC Regents with English Electric L27/26R bodies, new in September 1937.
It lasted until 1956 when it was sold for scrap, having covered just over half a million miles.
As delivered, it had the fleet number 157 but was renumbered the following year in the new scheme to give all trolleybuses 1xx numbers and buses 2xx numbers.
207 was one of the Regents lent to Coventry Corporation during the war after the devastating bombing raids there.
