(KY) 545 7/96 WKK138SC5V1045073 1997 WKK138SC7V1045074 1997 WKK138SC9V1045075 1997 Query Corner Additional information to Q3/A3 (702/OJ1998-170) The Renault FR1 was produced in several different versions, though few of the designations are carried on the vehicles themselves. The complete list, taken from Car-Histo-Bus bulletin 25 (which includes a comprehensive article about the FR1 and its successor, the Iliade), is: E1 3.3 m high, 12 m long, 260 bhp engine E2 3.3 m high, 11.4 m long, 260 bhp engine T1, later TE 3.3 m high, 12 m long, 285 bhp engine T2 3.3 m high, 11.4 m long, 285 bhp engine T3, later TEC 3.3 m high, 10.6 m long, 285 bhp engine GT1, later GT 3.3 m high, 12 m long, 340 bhp engine GT2 3.3 m high, 11.4 m long, 340 bhp engine GTC 3.3 m high, 10.6 m long, 340 bhp engine GTS 3.75 m high, 12 m long, 340 bhp engine (Gangloff body to RVI design) GTX 3.48 m high, 12 m long, 340 bhp engine TX, later TEX as GTX, to lower interior specification SX 3.7 m high, bodied by Obradors The GTS was produced by Gangloff under contract to RVI, as this high-specification version was expected to be produced in low volumes, and the Annonay factory was to concentrate on the more popular models. It was replaced by the GTX in 1989. The 11.4 m models were dropped from the range around 1993. A4 (ref 702/OJ1998-170) The Iliade was launched in 1996 and replaced the FR1 range. Models so far identified are: TE, RT, GT TEX, RTX. GTX 3.3 m high, with different levels of equipment 3.55 m high, with different levels of equipment Three engines are offered (302 bhp, 340 bhp and 380 bhp), and these might be associated with the TE/TEX, RT/RTX and GT/GTX, although the three versions might also have different interior specifications. Model lengths are 12 m and 10.6 m, and the shorter vehicles ought to be classified TEC, RTC, GTC (C = court = short), if the pattern latterly adopted for the FR1 has been continued. The 10.6 m version may only be offered at the lower height. A5 (ref 702/OJ1998-170) Mercedes has marketed the O303 in France under several model names, which seem not to have been used in other markets. The characteristics appear to be as follows (taken from Car-Histo-Bus bulletin 25 and also from Mercedes France publicity): Metropol: 3.05 m high and 8.7 m or 9.2 m long; 3.07 m high and 10.6 m, 11.3 m or 12 m long (models KHP-9R, - 10R, -13R, -14R or -15R respectively). Also used for the 3.07 m high KHP-L with two-leaf ('grant') front doors. Capitol: 3.07 m high, 12 m long (model KHP-15R) - probably a higher interior specification than the corresponding Metropol. Panoramique: 3.22 m high, 12 m long (model RHS-15R). Can be distinguished from the Capitol by the beading line below the side windows, which comes halfway up the front door window, but only a quarter of the way up that on the Capitol. Transeurope: 3.43 m high, 12 m long (model RHD-15R). Can be recognised by the centre door, which is completely below the window line.
Q & A 711-OJ-90 Q & A Acropol: This appears to have been a development of the Metropol or Capitol, possibly with a better interior specification. Transpol: Not an O303, this is a Mercedes OHL1625 chassis with Gangloff bodywork, designed in collaboration with Mercedes and marketed by them. The model was renamed Capitol in 1994 (just to confuse everyone), apparently because the urban operator in Lille (TCC) had adopted the name Transpole (Charge Utile Magazine, in a three-part article about Gangloff).
