With that grille logo, it's a 1982 at the oldest. |

Were these actually sold in Germany? (or the UK, where I'm guessing this deck scene was probably filmed)? |

The car park interiors were shot at the Brent Cross shopping centre in north London. |

Nearly everything is available, but mainly not through Ford-dealers itself, mostly through importeurs. |

Heavy duty US recovery trucks like this are fairly rare in UK, but a few are used for lorry recovery, motorway standby fleets and for racetrack coverage. Another source may be vehicles sold off from US miltary bases/facilities in UK. |

Shall it be from a Volks...wagen garage? /vehicle_18790-Audi-80-Typ-81-1978.html This wold be extreme unlikely. I've seen one time a Brazilian built VW-tow-truck in use by a VW-dealer in Wolfsburg, but this is more expectable that a product of annother brand. Over here it's similar, as dsl says about the UK. A few US-made tow-trucks like that above -some bigger ones are running here, too- are in use here, also mainly for truck-recovery companies. Recently I saw a newer F 350 tow-truck around here. For those goes the same, as robi has pointed out (the same as for all kind of US-made Fords): they aren't available officially at Ford Germany, but on special order of a willing Ford-dealer or a private imorter, you can get them. |

Thumbs 2 & 3 are from the chase's extended version. |

I suspect it is meant to be a towing company not affiliated with a dealership with "VOLKS AUTO" simply meaning "PEOPLE'S AUTO" as a towing company. I see a logo above the name on the doors, and though I can't make out the design other than a red rectangle, it obviously isn't the iconic blue "VW" logo. |
