VW-Porsche for the police

Crooks love fast cars. The police makes things difficult, because in the prosecution of offenders, they often can not keep up with them. North Rhine-Westphalia law enforcement officials will in future have it better. An impressive fleet of snow-white VW-Porsche 914 is designed to enable them. the auto-alignment of the villains thwart.

On 9 November were ready, the first twenty of the fast-Polizel racer in vehicle delivery to the Narupstraße. Officials in North Rhine-Westphalian Polizel acquisitions after a short introduction to smart car and walked with them in rapid succession on the trip to Dortmund. Of course, the new vehicles are not yet ready for use immediately. In the central police workshops they have to yet to be equipped, they make proper use of cars with those attributes. Blue light. Martin Horn and Funksprechgerat belong to self-evident. But the fast VW-Porsche will also receive a clearly visible mark from the air. FOr the con -. Traffic surveillance from the air and on large inserts. where even airplanes or helicopters take over, has shown itself useful

Officers could not wait to get behind the wheel of fast white car. She first had to undergo an initiation into the delivery vehicle in the proper treatment of the VW-Porsche 914 is over.

Also of note what seems like an almost total lack of radio antenna.

Paul

Weren't antennas Dealer installed?


The 6th car back in the row on the left (orange) looks like it has an antenna installed.


Looks like to me that the 914's on the train are being shipped around Europe while the lower ones are going to the US as they have the front puck lites and no hubcaps.

Looks like the two pictures below were taken at the same time but from two different vantage points ...

Yepp ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- It's raining
- The trees have no leafs, so about the same time of year
- Train is parked in the same spot
- Top of train is full with all light colored cars
- Top of train cars all have hubcaps and no sidemarkers
- Bottom of train is full except the very last spot
- There's a dark colored car on the ramp driving into the last bottom spot
- The last car parked in the line ending by the second (-) sign is dark colored in both pictures

The cars on the ground have side reflector lights, where as the ones on the train do not. Didn't the cars sold in Europe come without the reflectors and the ones sent to the US have them?

In response to your original questiom.......
Euro 914s had no side markers (reflectors in your terms).
US 914s DID have side markers - all of them! Plain and simple as that. Hope that answers your question.

Rarely seen on a factory deliverd US 914. I would love to see a window sticker showing passenger side view mirror. That would be cool!

Track test probably in -69 and maybe not at the factory circuit. There seems to be a string or something hanging down under the car...?
