@ André : the detail picture is the 1959 2CV... mine is a 1974, and a little different, more "modern" as you could say
...I saw them on more cars here in Europe back in the 80ies too...

| Is this bus going to be driving to HO next June, or just hauled in as a smashed hulk on a trailer? It's hard to imagine that thing resembling a bus in that short of time, but it would be fun to watch it get built. |

The plan was to do a monster quick build to drive it there, but since then I bought my '50, so the plan has changed to do the 50 first, then this afterwards, so it will not b e at Hessisch - I need to email the guys to change the details of what I will be driving there, another thing on the list to do!
Elfix is prgressing well with its new owner, I wouldnt be suprised if this makes it to a show soon!

| Elfix and the '50 both rolling out next year would be cool. 2013's looking like a good one for the UK scene. Bring it on |

...Here is a print screen i done from a TV document about the Porsche Family. :p

The Horrak bus looks rather similar to the Porsche bus, but I looks like the Porsche bus is missing the rear bumper. This photo has been taken in November 1952:
This bus has been used in a driving school (Fahrschule), what a waste.
This is the driving school in 1955:
