The AEC 661T was a two-axle double deck trolleybus chassis manufactured by AEC between 1931 and 1942.^[1] Based on the AEC Regent bus chassis, over 380 were built for United Kingdom and overseas operators.^[2] Bodywork on early models was similar to that on the AEC Regent motor bus, with a half cab front and dummy radiator, but a full-fronted version was used from 1934.^[3]

The first four vehicles were supplied to Southend Corporation.^[4], with orders following to many other muncipal trolleybus operators.^[1][2]

Several AEC 661Ts were later preserved, including examples formerly used in Portsmouth ^[5] Cleethorpes ^[6],and Reading ^[7], with the latter two being located at the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft.
