  Vehicle history: This 904B vehicle is the only known Giardinetta to be used by the Italian police. It had the licence plates "Polizia 54486" and was used from 1979 to 1981 in the central garage in Rome. From  1982 to 1988 it was in service of the Milan street police as a video recorder test car. What happened to the vehicle after its service for the Italian police is unknown at this point in time (Aug.'13). The VIN number was included in the privately published 2003 book Polizia in movimento by author Masotti Paolo. The Italian scale model manufacturer Autoparco who specialises in police cars is planning to release a 1:43 model of this particular vehicle under reference number PS0202AR2103.
