Part of a fine Harrington Cavalier model created by Peter Fray. Unfortunately Peter's paper buses were all published on Fotopic, which has ceased to operate, so we look forward to his fine collection reappearing again somewhere soon.
This Mulleys Motorways tribute livery introduces a special page for paper bus models. Only older and classic vehicles are shown, and I must make it clear that these are all LINKS, and I don't produce any of the models shown below. My thanks to all the clever people who did the hard work, and who own the copyright of the various models. Nearly all of them are free to download, so all you need is a printer. (Page updated July 2023 to remove dead links).
I hope you may find some entertainment among this collection, and do tell me if you know of other worthy candidates for the list (note than I reserve the right to decide which models are shown and which aren't!). This is a new project and I'd like to see it grow, so please let me know if you find downloads of other British classic bus, coach, trolleybus or tram models.
Enjoy!
