We had one of those until a few years ago when dad sold it back to Finland.
Sidecar wheel is driven and you can send the exhaust trough a can on the floor
in the side car so your feet get warm and toasty

Those Zundapp sidecar rigs are cool!  There are a few for sale over here, but they're super expensive.
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.

I remember dad gave 50 Finnish mark for it around 1980
guess it was about 15 Dollars.  Sold it back to Finnland a couple of years ago
I think he almost doubled his money ;D ;D 
A Finnish guy had tracked dad down as the one that bought it. And wanted to buy it back
All the clue he had was, A swedish guy with a a beard and barefoot with a Darkblue
Mercedes Diesel  Good job to find us 40 years later
