It's an Ikarus yes but I have a slightly different model.
Any idea who designed it for an extra point?

This Mikafa was built on a tubular frame, not on a Tempo-Chassis. Engine was BMW 3,2-litre V8.

Time to let the Professionals loose on this one!
Don't forget though - maximum 12 points per puzzler for the time being, so please don't post lots of answers that you can't be awarded points for hence stopping others from searching/posting..

Not quite 12 points.
I'm giving you:

#4: 2 pts for make and operator
#7: 0 for that so you can still have another go with something else!
#12: 2 point for make/model and designer (siata1 didn't seem to want his points!)
#13: 2 points for make/model and operator
#16: 2 points for make/model and operator
#17: 1 point for make/model; what route is it operating for the other point?
#28: 2 points for make/model and operator
#33: 0 points for pointing out it's the same as #13; I agonised over that but had it as a different date and I liked the picture so I decided it was different...  I've now changed the picture so you can have another go at it!

That's 11 points so you can have another go at something.  I'll stretch it to 13 pts max if whatever you identify is worthy of 2 points!

It's a Guy Arab, yes, so that's one point.  But not for South Africa (don't forget they drive on the left).  Still 1 point going for who it was built for?

5 points for you!  Well done.
