I don't know of any E1 channel banks but a T1 channel bank will work *just 
fine* for your application (with the exception that it's only 24 channels) -- 
You can use a T100P and T1 channel bank in the UK; I believe the ringing 
voltage and current loops are all identical anyway.  The ringer cadence may 
be north-americanized though.

T100P is US$500 new from Digium, T1 channel banks are about USD$250-$400 used 
depending on how many channels and so on.
