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 ?)

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.
