Due to the absence of a speed limit on motorways in the 1960s, the Dutch police needed to find a suitable vehicle for high-speed patrol.
The list of requirements was hard to fill, as it had to be mechanically reliable, handle well, stop on a dime, and have an open top, which would help officers stand up to direct traffic, so they turned to Porsche to supply the cruisers.
To celebrate this part of motoring heritage, a Dutch team of collectors gathered earlier this month with their precious rides, supported by Porsche Classic Center Gelderland and Porsche Netherlands. And to mark the occasion, they also wrapped a 918 Spyder in the matching livery, to the delight of bystanders.
These vehicles are hard to find on the used car market, but digging constantly could land enthusiasts their very own used Dutch police car, and depending on how well preserved it is, one example could set them back for at least $100,000.
