AEC Renown 3B3RA

What is your favourite bus of all time?

Launched in 1962, the two-axle, low floor, double-deck AEC Ronown was designed to take over from the not too successful Bridgemaster. The model used independent front suspension and air bellows rear suspension, similar to that of the Routemaster. 3B3RA versions had four-speed synchronised gearboxes and 3B2RA models carried four-speed direct-selection epicyclic gearboxes. With an 18ft 3 1/2 in wheelbase the Renown could take either forward or rear entrance bodies. Some two-hundred and fifty Renowns were manufactured during the production period of 1962 to 1967.
