Chassis: Low frame J.P. Scholer from Neudorf and a bodywork from Comes, Junglinster.

Hi, sichel! It is a MAN. Correct. And MAN is a German manufacturer. Also correct. The bodywork is not 'Voll'

I assume that it is an Austrian coachbuilder. It looks like widness 2,50 m, too wide for suisse roads at that time.

I am surprised by the fact, that is no coachbuilder from your home country ;-) So it will be from Central Europe, or not?
