Rijkspolitie was the Netherland’s Police Corps for highway surveillance from 1945 until 1996. The Rijkspolite primarily enforced traffic laws on major roadways in Holland and required automobiles that were up to top specification. The unit utilized a variety of vehicles including Alfa Romeos, Citroens, and beginning in 1962, Porsche. The Rijkspolitie Porsche relationship began with the use of twelve 356 Cabriolets, but they soon quickly transferred to the 911 Targa after its debut in 1967. The open design was preferred by officers because of the increased visibility with the Targa removed which was also useful in crash situations where an officer could be standing through the car to direct traffic. From simple traffic stops to high speed pursuits the Rijkspolitie found the 911 Targa to be a perfect platform for their policing needs. Despite this, very few remain in full Police livery today and are often only seen in European museums, with privately owned examples rarely coming to market.
Newly available from a Private collection, this is an excellent example and one of only 1,354 such Porsche 911’s outfitted for Rijkspolitie use. This example began as a Euro-spec 911 Carrera Targa, then outfitted with full Police livery, Police Lights, front and rear sirens, Police Radio, Flashing Stop Sign, extra fog and reverse lights, rear wiper and Phone Dial wheels. It was delivered new to the Police Corps Highway Surveillance Department in the Netherlands.
This Carrera is an ideal candidate for Vintage Rally use or any eclectic collection – it is spectacular in every way and ready for immediate enjoyment.
