The seller offers for sale this 1927 Hispano Suiza bus, located in Pamplona, Spain. This vintage vehicle once operated the regular passenger line between Pamplona and San Sebastián during the 1920s through the 1950s. It underwent a restoration in 2002, which included bodywork, paint, and leather upholstery, and has been preserved in indoor storage ever since. The bus retains its original mechanical components, brakes, and transmission, though it has been out of service since 2002 and currently does not start or shift properly. An expert mechanic should be able to recommission it. The overall structure features unique divided seating for different passenger classes, reflecting its historical role as public transport.

Hispano Suiza is a legendary Spanish brand, founded in 1904, known for producing some of the most advanced and prestigious cars and engines of the early 20th century. The marque became synonymous with luxury, innovation, and craftsmanship, building automobiles admired by royalty and industrialists across Europe. Beyond cars, Hispano Suiza also developed aviation engines that played a key role in the early aviation industry. Today, surviving vehicles are rare and highly valued for their historical significance and distinctive elegance.
