Time to introduce a local hero:
my hometown's DLRG is connected with Remshalden nearby and was looking for a successor for their rotten Isuzu Trooper. They could acquire a decommissioned Bundesgrenzschutz T4 TDI Syncro crew carrier via right of preemption. Blue light bar and sirens were already existent, all it needed was some TLC and a respray. This was proudly carried out by my mates Micha and Piero. The signwriting and adding of daylight luminous foil was done by one Mr Janz, another chap I know quite well.
Note the personalised number plate: RW for Remshalden-Weinstadt and the numbers according to the radio call sign Pelikan (= pelican) Rems-Murr (= county name) 2/45-1.
Also note the police double mirrors composed of T4 wide bed pick-up truck and LT Mk I (!) parts.

Nice Roland! But what is DLRG? And water what?
Re: T4 DLRG Remshalden-Weinstadt
The DLRG (Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft = German Life Saving Association) is comparable to the Royal Life Saving Society and the biggest voluntary water rescue (= Wasserrettung) association in the world. 560,000 members, 2,100 local groups.
Also involved in the KatS.
