Carrosserie Jon ckheere, B8800, Roeselare, Belgium.

As this is the Belgian company's first ever show in the UK there should be plenty of interest around the single coach on display. The model chosen is a 12m Solaire body on an AEC Reliance chassis. The Reliance is fitted with the AH 760 horizontal engine developing 165 bhp at 2200 rpm, which has replaced the 691 engine for 1973 models. The vehicle has 57 seats and the following features are included in the standard specification: electro-pneumatic doors, seat space adjusters, arm rests, forced air ventilation, individual reading lamps, side lockers with gas-filled lid support stays, and pantograph wipers. Standard price for a Solaire including these fittings is £9314 exclusive of chassis.

The Show model has a number of luxury fittings as options, These include three heaters, radio, public address and stereo tape cassette system, tinted glass, curtains, foot rests and an exclusive instrument panel using new instruments. Jonckheere, whose UK sales are being handled by the Kirkby organization, will also be importing a 49-seat 11m body and a 53-seat 11.3m model.
