• A flolset viscous-drive fan becomes a standard fitting on Ford R-series bus and coach chassis from today. It is aimed, says Ford, at reducing noise and improving engine warm-up.
The new-season models will also have changes in body soundproofing, following liaison between Ford and the bodybuilders on this point.
Otherwise the R-series chassis (of which 896 were sold in 1971-2) remain virtually unchanged for the coming year.
Road impressions of the latest model, with the Ford six-speed gearbox which is now standard, appear on pages 77 and 78 of this issue.
