25003 - Bristol RELL Flat Screen	THE REAL BUSES The Bristol RE series of buses were the last single deck vehicles to carry their manufactures famous name. The model first introduced in the 1960's was purchased in large numbers by the Tillings group, and became the standardised single deck type in many fleets. The most popular choice of bodywork was built by ECW (Eastern Coach Works) of Lowestoft. The early vehicles had a flat windscreen, which was later modified to incorporate a more stylish curved version, the vehicles were also available with either single or twin head lamps. The Bristol RE was replaced by the Leyland National in the early 1970's, however examples continued to operate with some of the larger operators into the early 1990's. Many of these hardy vehicles were also popular second hand choices with a number of independent operators who continued to use these vehicles well into the late 90's. The RE's have also proved to be a popular choice with preservationists and many examples can still be seen at bus rallies today. THE EFE MODELS The Bristol RE had been a model high on many collectors wanted list. EFE answered the requests in 1998 with the launch of three versions of the Bristol RELL. The Eastern Coach Works body style with the flat windscreen was the first to appear followed shortly afterwards by the single head lamp curved windscreen version. The third and so far most popular release has been the twin head lamp version with curved windscreen which made its first appearance at the 1998 Showbus Rally. EFE produced a fourth version in the form of a Bristol RELH Dual purpose bus which was added to the range in 2003. This version has a single rear window and high backed coach seats. In 2006 EFE added yet further variety to it's RE range when a new coach version of the RELH was introduced, this can be produced in several variations with different front domes and door types.
