“The Police Car from the Lego Technic series is a pretty model for beginners. From a few individual parts a buggy is built, and it’s construction is pretty stable. Unfortunately, except for steering of the front wheels, there are no functions. With a few more parts, at least... More the steering wheel could be steerable. All in all, the Police Car gets four stars in the overall rating.”

“The third small Tech Play model of 1996 was the 8230 Coastal Cop Buggy. This appears to be some sort of beach buggy and comes complete with a friendly police officer in black. Although bigger than the other two Tech Play models this year, 8230 still has only a single... More feature: steering. A range of stickers represent the police logo, spotlights, and tail lights.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Coastal Cop Buggy set 8230 was released in February 1996, retailing for $22, but has since been retired. New, unopened Coastal Cop Buggy sets are valued at $99, while used sets can be found for $27 in good condition.
