The Horrak bus looks rather similar to the Porsche bus

Interesting question, let us start with the IAA Frankfurt in April 1951:

There we have dlx belt trim, rear bumper trim and antenna.
On the Porsche bus I cannot see one of them.
The Horrak bus has the rear bumper trim but no atenna.
So I would suspect that we can see three different buses.
In this thread you can see a firemax bus, another bus without belt trim.

I had a closer look at the Horrak bus, and found some damage in the rear area, which should be unusal for a bus, not older than a year

If your talking about the dent on the Beltline that is from the rubber which is on the rear cargo door not using the check strap this is what happens

This was posted to the gallery today, not sure if it's a new or old photo...though it does look familiar and shares Beavis and Butthead with the UK 51 15-window

Thought I would share here since is basically "the official barndoor 15-window thread"

This bus is undergoing/undergone serious restoration work by one of the best and most meticulous barn door resto guys here in the UK. I can also ashore you that its going to be as close to "factory" as physically possible!! What I have seen so far is breath-taking considering how messed up it was, i.e. accident roll damage and years of horrific "behind the iron curtain" repairs!!

From the vintage photos thread. Please note sunroof and incomplete deluxe. trim. it's an odd ball. Might be coachbuilt or home brew?
