The renovation of buses with historical value

It is important for us to keep the memories of passed times and to preserve for the future generations the traditions of our fathers and grandfathers, working tools and the means of transport. Despite of the political regime and the time, modern buses have served the passengers on the roads of Estonia. Bus sector developed fast in the second half of the thirties, when modern buses for that time were bought into Estonia or built here for transport and line services. War left us nothing tangible from this time and we can value the quality of buses only from the pictures.

We have devoted a lot of time, energy and shrewdness for renovating two busses in their original outlook. Good economic outcomes, excellent specialists, workers and of course luck made it possible that the bus wrecks fell into our hands to be renovated. Come to explore the history, overview of the renovation and the pictures of those buses:
