Another one that will be hard to find, if it has been documented at all yet.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

When I look at the "Verkehrswacht" badge I think it should be German.

Yes, my eagle-eyed friend.  ;)

For the general public, the Deutsche Verkehrswacht awards badges for 10, 20, 25, 30, 40 or 50 years of defensive driving.

Waking this puzzle from its three year slumber, is the car a one-off?
