Eastern Counties received four Bedford VAM with ECW B41F bodywork in 1967. Given the rather apt designation SB661-664, NAH661F-NAH664F the first two were Bedford engined VAM5 with the latter two Leyland engined VAM14. The body was adapted from the MW design with amended windscreens to suit the front mounted engine and radiator.

Leicester bought their second batch of Leyland Atlanteans in 1969 which carried ECW bodies and were PDR1A/1 chassis. They were originally ordered as ECW bodied Leyland Titan PD3s but the order was changed to take advantage of the government's bus grant scheme which offset some of the cost of new vehicles. They had low driving positions giving rise to a rather odd frontal appearance. 103, PBC103G, is seen in the Haymarket Leicester in 1982.
