Every line of work has its advantages. School teachers enjoy long summer vacations and ski instructors spend their winters on the slopes. Members of the Korps Rijkspolitie, the Dutch National Police responsible for the nation's highways from 1945-1994, could count on job security, a government pension, and, on occasion, the keys to high-performance Porsche patrol cars, including 356 Cabriolets, 914s, and 911 Targas such as this 1989 911 Carrera!

The open-topped 911 Targa body style that first hit the road in 1967 was not chosen by accident. Rijkspolitie officers were expected to stand up within the car to direct traffic and, furthermore, this style of traffic management prioritized deterrence over stealth-a policing concept that can be plainly seen in its high-contrast and unmistakable orange livery with massive identification number on the front hood. The engines were special, too. Each completed Porsche engine was tested on a dynamometer, and it is said that examples producing exceptional output received a red-colored tag and were reserved for VIPs and police duty.

Finished in Grand Prix White like so many other 1980s G-Body 911s, the factory build specification of this C20 Dutch-market Carrera Targa gives little indication of the specialized role it would soon undertake on Holland's highways-or the enthusiast following it would later attract. The Targa was simply optioned with a rear window wiper to reduce costs before its duty and emergency equipment were added by the Dutch authorities. Exterior equipment for the model included a Targa bar-mounted blue rotating light, rear-facing 'POLITIE' lit sign and speaker, dual rear Hella lights, front valance-mounted Bosch horns, and, of course, the orange Rijkspolitie livery across the car that also features reflective elements.

The Black partial leather interior has also been modified for service duty. Under the rear glass, where the rear seats would normally be visible, sits a plywood shelf with all manner of road equipment, including helmets, boots, lighting, radios, tools, and a fire extinguisher. The dashboard is fitted with a radio delete panel and additional switchgear, with a Teletron radio unit mounted just below the ashtray.

The Rijkspolitie disbanded in 1994, and as a result, 911 Targa number 25 saw a short stint of five years in service and shows only 156,826 kilometers or approximately 97,447 miles at the time of cataloging. Imported to the United States in 2024 and benefiting from an engine rebuild approximately 2,500 miles ago, these increasingly collectible former Police Porsches are rare in the U.S. and a welcome sight at marque concours, Sunday morning coffee-fueled events, and virtually anywhere they appear.
