Perhaps not as easy as it looks.

For one point, please respond and identify this bus.

This is a thing from Hungary, the Ikarus 250. However, the production version had twin round headlights, so this is a pre-production prototype built in 1967

There is an Ikarus participation, but it is not labeled as one.

Though it was. The original photo has had an Ikarus logo, which was blurred in Photoshop thereafter. There's pretty lot about this bus in russian language sources

Hello monocoque_77,

no links are allowed in the puzzle section. Please make yourself familiar with our rules: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/rookie-autopuzzles/updated!-puzzles-rulebook-please-read-before-posting-in-this-puzzles-a-6857/

The unmodified picture doesn't show any Ikarus emblems or writings on the front of the bus.

There was a logo just above the headlights at the bus' full width, which was hastily hidden thereafter. It coinceedes with the dimensions of an Ikarus logo. There might have been some special versions for some of the by then Eastern block's countries, DDR in particular, though the original model was made by Ikarus

Believe it or not, but I won't argue about facts.

Steyr Ikarus?

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2018, 11:52:29 AM »

Not a Steyr-Ikarus, but Steyr is part of the name. Locked for you.

del78 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2018, 12:26:06 PM »

Saurer Steyr 659?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2018, 05:53:01 PM »

Not Saurer Steyr, but Steyr-Saurer, and I have a different model. Still locked.

del78 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 18, 2018, 09:26:45 AM »

found that picture
it's written on this brochure "Reiseluxusomnibus mit Ikarus-Aufbau"
but everywhere else it has a designation 659
EDIT:
maybe You want this designation: 5SH-OL

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** September 18, 2018, 09:59:46 AM »

Yes, it is a Steyr-Saurer 5SH-OL with an Ikarus body.

del78 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2018, 10:18:37 AM »

Do You have any additional info?
More photos maybe?

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2018, 10:37:25 AM »

I'll post the brochure cover in better quality tonight. That's all I have. I found the puzzle bus so interesting, because Ikarus was just the coachbuilder, but not part of the brand name.

del78 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 18, 2018, 10:43:34 AM »

please take a look at some photos of Ikarus 659, that's basically the same bus
there are some differences in lights positioning but almost the same front

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** September 18, 2018, 11:04:14 AM »

I know. Steyr-Saurer used the standard Ikarus body.
