As you know, I have been photographing the restoration of the Citroen bus “La Guepe” since the beginning of the year. Progress is definitely being made and the wooden frame which will support the bodywork is almost complete. There is still a lot of work to do but the frame is now securely attached to the chassis and drivetrain, the electrics have been installed and it is starting to look like a real vehicle. I attach some recent photographs of the meticulous reconstruction work which might be interesting to some of your readers, together with a copy of a couple of pictures taken in April before the bodywork was attached – which shows the progress! The guys doing the work, who belong to he club “Rétro Véhicule de Rouergue" are all volunteers and are highly skilled and they love showing off the work they have done to visitors on Saturday mornings.
Best wishesl

Val says Gareth Brown photographer is yet another English speaker getting involved in the Laguepie bus project. Roger Bowen has been involved for quite some years. I love seeing nationalities working together on such a great project.
Very many thanks Gareth for giving us this photographic insight into the restoration of the bus.
