Description
The E Type bears a strong visual resemblance to the Alexander R Type. East Lancs first built bodies resembling the R Type in 1984, which were almost identical in appearance to the Alexander product. Later examples had more East Lancs styling elements, making identification easier.

Pyoneer on other chassis around 1997.
