There were 3, yes 3 scamera vans on bridges on the A23 on Thursday!!!
Also, the dark grey 1 series was in Worthing Saturday afternoon. They also appear to have:
A light grey A4 Saloon (new one I think) reg GF 59 GZ?
A Gunmetal Grey Golf reg starting GL09

3?Hellfire I only spotted two of them 1 Northbound and 1 Southbound
Although quite possibly not a traffic car, but with the local BiB's current thinking of using non regulation cars (the X5/X3 reported recently?), racing up the A23 this morning a meteor grey Ford Galaxy (possibly S-Max, but sure a Galaxy) with blues and twos alight. Proper unmarked car discreet lights, not the stick on the roof Starsky & Hutch type.
Didn't get the reg but I'll keep an eye out.

I have always assumed that the BiB swapped reg plates around on the silver Audi A4 oft seen in Brighton/A23. Well I can confirm that there are in fact TWO of them. Spotted both this morning in Brighton having pulled a car each within 500 yards of one another (both '59 reg)
I have to confess, after seeing the first one and then rounding the next corner to see the second, I wondered if Mrs Fubes had slipped an acid tab in my coffee this morning

I could be entirely wrong, but I don't think Sussex have any unmarked X5s.
Well, it was in Patcham having pulled a builder's van over. Having said that, there where A LOT of marked cars on the lower section of the A23 this morning including a brace of marked Volvos, that I haven't seen before, running together with lights on, one waiting for the other by going round and round a roundabout when they got split up. Some action locally?JulianHJ said:
Marked Volvos???
Yup, but you know what, now I cant remember what sort (blame my lack of short term memory and the fact I was in a hurry to get out their way as they had the lights on and seemed to be in quiet a rush). I want to say saloon S80, but could just as easily have been V70s lol. Pfft, and I consider myself to be a petrolhead 
I do know for a fact they where white
with what looked like over sized light boxes on the roof, I mean HUGE, but I guess they where just the modern ones?Pagey said:
Sussex have had a bit of 'an operation' on, on and around the A23 over the last couple of weeks,
They have had a couple of unmarked cars from Polegate on the A23 last week and also a couple of 'Chichester cars'
Assuming the Volvos and X5 are Surrey cars, is it common for other forces to co-op on 'mundane' traffic operations?They have had a couple of unmarked cars from Polegate on the A23 last week and also a couple of 'Chichester cars'

down to the Brighton roundabout.
That's exactly where I saw them. Lights ablaze 'til the roundabout, then switched them off and headed towards the A27Pagey said:
currently unsure as to whether the X5 is Surrey's or 'possible ARV'
Poor builder certainly looked a little shocked
