Identify the make, model , year and coachbuilder for a point. :)
Experts ?
That looks like Gibraltar in the background. So, is it a Pegaso?
don't know about the car, but fully agree on the rock...
British?
Not British and not Pegaso but the truck was used in Spain !
Pros ?
This is a Spanish Mercedes-Benz L312 from 1956 bodied by Buhne for La Melisana (Klosterfrau Melissengeist)

Yes , Mercedes-Benz L312 from 1956 bodied by Buhne .
1 point for pguillem !
The first truck for Klosterfrau :
Another Klosterfrau-version photo:
My curiosity is getting the better of me. Klosterfrau is the manufacturer of (among other things) a tonic, or "patent remedy," called Melissengeist, right? If it's what I think it is, the stuff is 80 percent alcohol: 160 proof. I wonder if that's what the gentleman "christened" the truck with. It also looks like he had to do a couple of "takes" before they got a suitable photo op. I wonder if he'd had a coupla snorts of the tonic himself. :drink:
The other thing I'm curious about is the pine boughs spread across the bumper. I've seen several photos here of boughs or wreaths on cars...and I don't remember this from my time in Germany. 'Course I had a snort or two of just about anything I could get my hands on ::) and my memory ain't the greatest. I also wonder about the couple in the background of the photo. Think they had some of that Melissengeist in the glasses or maybe just a nice Riesling? ;D
I better go back to work on the race car.
It´s an "aqua miralbilis", indeed, for external and internal use (adding water to it is highly recommended before drinking this stuff!).

Quite a bit of water, I should think. Otherwise.... :faint:

Klosterfrau Melissengeist helps old people to get in a good mood – at least my grandma told me. As a kid I didn't understand...
... so they can forget that this great car was scrapped in 1968. :'(
Another nice photo:
