I'd take a punt and say that the car was actually RHD, with reversed (ie: back-to-front) "Polizei" letters applied, then the negative reversed so it appeared to be LHD. The series was produced on a low budget, so sending a camera crew to Germany was out of the question! More shots: A VW van and a Mercedes were also used in the episode:

I think you're right - the filler cap and rear 1602 badge is on the wrong side. -- Last edit: 2016-12-15 13:11:14
