Vanagon, as it's a US version. |

But it's in Germany I believe? According to the filming locations it could be: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0098051/locations |

looks like a US-spec VW (location of rear side indicators, heavier front bumper) |

Wrong flashing blue lights at wrong positions, wrong font for "Polizei", and the green colour seems to be too pale, too. So it's a fake police vehicle anyway. |

That's right. Besides, German police rather used the "cheaper" version of the T 3 which was equipped with round headlights instead. |

Not everything of the German police-T3's was cheap. The engine was usually the quite powerful 112hp-version. Not the extreme lame 55hp-Diesel, the military-version had. The T3-versions of the Bundesgrenzschutz (the German border-patrol) makes the VW-freaks crazy. A lot of them, mainly the civil ones, had the back sliding-doors on both sides and also the very big sunroof - an extra, which was so extreme expensive, that nearly noone else has ordered it. P.S. I don't know, how it was with the police-version, but the Bundesgrenzschutz-T3 and also the Bundeswehr-VW's had the - - famous Eberspächer extra heating. -- Last edit: 2009-03-13 23:11:06 |

There were European T3s with that bumper style and square headlights. This is US mainly because of side hazard lights (or whatever they're called - the orange squares on the back quarter panel). Also "mm" above pointed out other non obvious differences so it's a US made Vanagon turned into wannabe German Police car. |

Last week I was in Frankfurt/M and spotted a Vanagon. I even have a photo of it: -- Last edit: 2015-04-26 18:50:10 |

It's either a 1987, 1988, or a 1989 model, because this bumper was not an option in 1986. -- Last edit: 2016-03-26 22:00:50 |
