A Zundapp 200S like the one in the picture,was my first introduction to  the world of motorcycling when I was 16 in 1960, bought for the sum of £85.  This was the start of my passion for German motorcycles. Now 50 years later,it hasn’t gone away !!  Zundapp 1957 200S on the ADLER TO ZUNDAPP CLUB stand West Kent Run  Have a look in page Bernd Motorrad hauschen
