The Vecta was largely similar to the Delta body on the DAF SB220, but had a straight front end with a separately mounted destination display. Most were based on the 11.190 chassis, but there were also two built on the less powerful 11.180. The Vecta was built for medium-length chassis whereas the Sigma was built for full length chassis as the Dennis Lance chassis.[2]

A total of 130 were built, with United Automobile Services purchasing 51, including the first two.[3][4] Trent Buses 15 and while Reading Buses 14.[5]
