Vehicle number 99, located in the car museum of Einbeck, is street-legal in Germany. The first modern general inspection took place in April 2019. The local department of motor vehicles issued an allowance for usage at daytime and in good weather conditions, so that no additional vehicle lighting needed to be installed. The usage of a traffic paddle is still legal in Germany as a direction indicator for historic cars. Regular inspection was renewed in 2023.
