The East Lancs Spryte was a 2-axle single-decker low-floor bus body. It was built from c.1996 to c.1999 by East Lancashire Coachbuilders. It was built on the Dennis Dart SLF chassis,[1] Volvo B6LE chassis and Volvo B6BLE chassis.[2]

East Lancs deliberately misspelled bus names (naming it "Spryte" instead of "Sprite")

In 1999 it was replaced by the single-decker Myllennium.
