Dont guessing and lie... the O 140 based in the really old O 321 H/HL. And don't exists the LP 1114, and yes the LO 1114, but are totally different, right? And, CATA it's argentinian, not ch*lean -> http://www.catainternacional.com/ (based in Mendoza) READ ONE MORE TIME the post in Camion Argentino, please. -- Last edit: 2016-09-27 16:31:10 |

thank you, agarranmesta! will try my best, as the blog is in spanish, but without reading article again you are right! chassis can't be of LP1114 by rear mounted engine. Was wishy-washy wording, as i have meant the engine is that of LP 1114 with 140 HP Despite my comment all the info in title of this paige is correct, and that is important in the end. As you know it is not that easy to identify argentinian busses especially the coachbuilder, this is our 4th O140 here with all the others identified by g**h, so it is nice you are doing his job now even with the same attitude. |

Actually, these engine are the really popular OM 352 (140 HP). But, if you realize a zoom in the picture, the bus have tailights of Ford Falcon 74'-78'. Also, are probably to be a O 170 (with the OM 352 A engine) rather the O-140. For the moment, too difficult to know. About the body, i don't know for the moment. |

These are nicknamed "doble camello" (if have 2 step roof) or "camello simple" (if have 1 step roof). |

SOLVED -> 1975 Mercedes-Benz O 140 "Incar" (the number of windows depends according the length of the bus) http://busarg.com.ar/fotogaleria/displayimage.php?album=77&pos=0 |
