VOLKSWAGEN POLICE CAR

Its compact dimension, performace and reputation for all-weather reliability make the VW Beetle a popular member of the fleets of Continental police forces. Of the engine variants available most police services use the 1300 and 1200 model with an output of 40 h.p. The Volkswagen engine is a rear-mounted air-cooled unit, and it is the latter feature which makes it so suitable in extremes of temperature. Although the VW was designed before the Second World War, its specification is by no means out of date today. The suspension is independent at front and rear and the horizontally-opposed engine is robust, smooth and economical.
