Once upon the time, I needed a travelling machine for jobs as well as holidays. Jobs concerned Industrial monuments and historical buildings in Europe. Holidays concerned making a good time for my children.
  In 1971 I found the ideal car. It was a French Citroën Hy built in 1968 as a bus for 14 people and used by a mountain hotel in northern Sweden.
  The passenger seats could be temporarily demounted for a lightweight summer fitting I built to make seats and table easily foldable into a large flat sleeping area.

This year I got an opportunity to look through my old pictures of the bus as part of a photo project.
   I also found out that the bus is still existing, if not running. I have visited the bus where it dwells in a garage in southern Sweden and I have learnt that it has given great travelling experiences also to other families. Maybe it will be restored and given a new life.

And now, at last, I have fulfilled the idea that I had already 40 years ago to make a paper model of our bus.
You can download the model by clicking the picture to the left.

The built pictured model above has been completed with transparent windows and a mounted  interior. If you really want to build the model with this interior, you may send me an email to ask for a template.

With the best wishes for Cristmas and the coming year 2019 from me and my family.
