Griscti Family Collection
Malta Bus Archive
These photographs were taken by members of the Griscti family of Sliema and mostly cover the period 1910s to 1930s. The collection falls into two parts. Most of the earlier photos are from around 1916 to the early to mid-1920s, and show cars of the period (the family appear to have run the Gzira garage of the E.T. Agius group during WW1 whilst members of the Muscat family who normally ran the site were away at war). The other part of the collection shows buses of the 1920s and 1930s, the bodies of which were built by the family. During the 1920s they owned and operated a number of buses from their Red Wheel Garage site in Sliema (alongside a car hire and maintenance business). During the 1930s, whilst they no longer owned and ran buses, they continued to build bodies of new buses for other owners.
