Donor is quite easy, but this vehicle had a very specific purpose and a very specific name. I need that for a point

It looks a lot like a City-Linienbus by Ernst Auwärter, based on a VW-LT35, only the striping doesn't match.

This is the R-Bus which started its service in the town of Wunstorf in 1978. R-Bus stood for RETAX-Bus, which again stood for Rechnergesteuertes Taxi-Bus-System, a computer-based system of VW LT minibuses which combined classic bus lines with a taxi service, developed by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm.
