Formerly used as a snow plow for the Marburg fire department, the local police bought the shortened VW T1 Bus to save it from the crusher. "Speedy" fits up to 10 people and is mostly used for public events and shows.

I love it. I wonder what the top speed is, and if it's governed by the engine or by the wheel base.

Funny that you're asking, the Police lists the top speed as "Top Secret" on their site. But they also list the horsepower as "low", so it's probably in the double-digits somewhere.

0-60 in...eventually. With a good wind at your back.
