That motorcycle is today owned by Aalholm vehicle museum. I had the knowledge to do this because I owned a similar motorcycle when living in Denmark. I restored it and rebuilt engine, transmission and rear end. It was originally painted for desert operations, but never came to Sahara. It was imported to England by a collector who found it in Poland, where it was left by fleeing German troops from Luftwaffe, when it ran out of fuel. I have owned this famous Zündapp motorcycle since 1993, when I found it in London. Reportedly it is very rare to find these two frames with identical numbers. It is partly worn away, but when I sandblasted the frame I could read the whole number faint but complete. The number though can be seen on top of the tube connecting to the differential just next to the grease nipple.
The sidecar number is difficult because a German GI apparently enjoyed placing his big nail covered soled boot on the tubing and not at the footrest. The frame numbers on the bike are on the left side of the frame close to the left saddle spring lower end.
The Chassis Number 606185 can be found on the frame, side car and engine, meaning the major components of this bike have not been separated since it left the factory in 1942! This is an exception fully functional running extremely rare matching serial number 1942 Zundapp KS750! Purchased from the original owner that conducted a well-documented meticulous frame off restoration with full engine rebuild in the mid-1990s.
