Ford Model T bus in Slovenia

Описание к видео Ford Model T bus in Slovenia

A 1921 Ford Model T bus has been turning heads in Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana. Owned by Jure Mrzel, the bus is based on a two-seat Model T truck chassis.

Jure decided to convert the old-timer into a bus after studying historical material and talking to fellow Model T fanatics. He teamed up with wood technician Janez Smelcer for the project.

The two men also fitted the vehicle with a wood gas generator, or gasifier. Popular in the 1930s when fuel was in short supply, the gasifier burns wood to create a gas which powers the engine. The engine can also be powered by petrol.

While speeds are far from high top speed is just 20km/h when powered by the gasifier - driving the Model T is a precise art.

However, Jure enjoys the challenge as he proudly drives his bus around the streets of Ljubljana
