The only one of those I ever saw in a pic before was in a scrapyard; first time seeing a pic of one driving.

Auwärter Carlux Panorama bus (Coachbuilt).
Some people refer to it as a Beutler (I believe incorrectly ?)
Next time rename your pic before uploading pine! :twisted:

I've also only seen a photo of one in a scrapyard, it had apparently just been "saved" and the owner was contemplating a restoration, can't remember the article, first time I'm seeing pics of these on the road - Nice pics Pine, is their any other info, any survivors ?

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

I just did a random Google search with key words like 'Beutler Bus', 'Beutler VW', 'Beutler Volkswagen' etc. Couldn't find any 'recent' pics of a running one, but there are plenty wreck pics.

There were lots of coach builders that made many wird and wonderful creations based on the ACVW's. A nice site that has a fairly good selection is:
