The AEC Swift was a rear-engined single-deck bus chassis built by AEC in Southall, England between 1964 and 1974[1]. The chassis was closely related to the Leyland Panther. It was available in 33' and 36' lengths, with an AEC AH505 or AH691 engine.
The largest fleet was operated by London Transport and London Country, with over 1500 in total delivered between 1966 and 1972. LT called the 36' vehicles Merlins. They were not considered successful, and most had gone by 1981.[2]
