The Rijkspolitie was the Netherlands' state police from 1945 to 1996. They used a wide variety of vehicles, ranging from Alfa Romeo Spyders to Citroën H vans, but mostly they used Porsche. They bought over 500 cars in 30 years, of which only a few survive.

In 1962 a special traffic unit was formed, the Algemene Verkeers Dienst (AVD), which wore white uniforms instead of blue, and orange helmets. The AVD ordered a number of 356 Convertibles but when the 911 arrived they started using the Targa models, a practice that lasted until 1993 when they switched to Volvo. Open cars were preferred because they afforded the crew better visibility, and in emergencies officers could stand on the seat and give directions to other road users.
Several alterations were made to the AVD 911s: a wooden box containing police equipment was fitted in place of the rear seats, while other modifications included a passenger-side door mirror; two internal rear-view mirrors; additional electrical wiring for communications, flashing lights and 'STOP' sign; extra reversing and rear fog lights; and a mobile 'phone. Most cars had a loudspeaker on the rear. Equipment in the wooden box consisted of two CEAG lights; Drager alcohol tester; instructional paperwork; pair of handcuffs; tape measure; white markers; Ricoh camera; two warning triangles; fire extinguisher; towing cable; First Aid kit; set of spare lightbulbs; wheel wrench, etc.

The matching numbers car offered here is one of the very last Carrera 3.2s to be delivered new to the Rijkspolitie by Pon, the Netherlands Porsche importer. Designated as 'ALEX 12.24', the Porsche remained in service until 1991 when it was sold off. The car then went to Italy where it was restored recently by Porsche Centro Assistenza Pordenone. It was subsequently purchased in Italy by the current owner - a Rijkspolitie enthusiast - and brought to Belgium. The owner knew his car was a former Rijkspolitie Porsche as its special features on - roll-over bar, rear boot lid, etc - were still in place. Being an enthusiast and well known in the Rijkspolitie vehicle community, he had already a lot of the original Rijkspolitie equipment and accessories and was able to find all the other original parts.

The car comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it was delivered new to 'Politie Technische Dienst' and retains matching numbers (this is relatively rare among ex-Rijkspolitie Porsches as many underwent engine swaps). Additional documentation consists of a detailed Porsche Classic Check (carried out at Pordenone in 2015); Porsche invoices for work carried out; a copy of the factory record for this chassis; a Pon Wagenkaart; Belgian registration papers; and valid technical inspection. The car also comes complete with original police equipment including suits, helmets, etc, and also a beautiful archive of digital photographs from its time in Rijkspolitie service, for which Bonhams would like to thank Lex Goumare, Archivist of the Algemene Verkeersdienst Rijkspolitie Collection in the Netherlands.
