If I am right that bus was last on it's way to the Eiffel tower. At least that is where the Champ de Mars is in Paris.

(I suppose there are other places in France with the same name).

A daunting task ...but what a great project for someone with the time and money to spend on it. Wink

and I suppose it's the reason why ancient motorbikes survive in respectable numbers and heavy vehicles don't.

That and the War time scrap drives... Confused

Most of our friends who restore Buses do it as part of a group due to their size and subsequent costs of restoration.
