This vehicle* was used by the Dortmund police department between 1977 and 1990 and was used by the district officers to "patrol" their district. They were even allowed to drive it home at the end of their shift. At least that's the oral tradition.

By the way, there was no typing error in the year. At the Zündapp factory in Munich, the new year always started after the summer vacation. Therefore, although the Zündapp was built in 1978, it was already in use with us from 27.10.1977.
