"Pin the tail on the donkey" taping job on the headlamp... Very un-typical (sloppy, not precision) German.
The banner in background- "MAHAG" was the large VW distributor and dealer in Munich, State of Bavaria. Abbreviation for Muenchner Automobil-Handel Haberl GmbH (Munich automobile dealer Haberl LLC). |
