825024- Historic Paris bus - Mechanically restored - Faithful to the original, down to the very last detail - A superb vehicle to transport your family, friends and enthusiasts

This bus was bought in 2003 from François Jeanson, a doctor in Château-Thierry who, with his son, had opened a museum at Nogent-L’Artaud to house the cars he had acquired during the 1960s and ’70s.

It was not running well, but that did not stop Paul-Émile B driving it back to Vitry with his mechanic Michel Magnin.

Climbing the hill out of Nogent-L’Artaud was particularly hard going and the bus advanced only in fits and starts, with the help of a chock under the rear wheels! “It was running a bit better when we arrived and we were even able to take the motorway before the evening rush hour”, Paul-Émile B remembers. After it joined his collection, the bus was completely restored: it was stripped down, refurbished and painted, and the engine, transmission and gearbox rebuilt as new.
