The Last Surviving Japanese Porsche 912 Police Car

In the 1960s, four Porsche 912s were customized as police cars in Japan, and only one survives today—a vehicle that served in Kanagawa Prefecture from 1968 to 1973 and logged over 155,000 kilometers. After retirement, the car was displayed at a police academy for 26 years before deteriorating and nearly being scrapped in 1999, but was ultimately recovered through negotiations. The restored vehicle is now recognized as a rare historical artifact from Japan's unique automotive policing era.
