A plain grey Corsa 1.2 in the Donington Park area.

I try and look out for the obvious unmarked cars, Volvos etc, but this was a shock!

Nuneaton,heading out of town on Croft road.Black Octavia Vrs, three aerials on roof.One makers, to the left ,one slim one bent down, to be less visible. In front ( and only visible on corners) another twig. Reg BX ** AND possibly fpo. To me any vehicle like this with radio stuff trying to be invisible and vrn "BX" LOOKS SUSPICIOUS. Wonder if the boy racer in a clapped out Clio who lost out in acceleration to a family saloon,and who proceded to tailgait this one after I turned off got a shock. Please tell me he did.

We've plenty of 1.3 CDTi Corsa's, they're for the PCSO's to get out to their patches in. Brought in bulk for quite literally peanuts. Not 'unmarked cars' although by definition I guess they are cars that don't have markings...

Most CID transports are plain boggo standard diesel Fiesta's too, with the odd 3 cyl diesel Fabia thrown in. Woo. Poor buggers but what more do they need to get around in.

Both are borrowed by local bobbies when the old and knackered pandas are out of service. Which is often!

The aforementioned Disco is an 'unmarked car'. Don't point anything looking that looks like a gun at it... If you get my drift...

The Cooper S isn't a police car.

Plain white BMW 3 Series Touring LD58EZL spotted in Mansfield area last week, might be something special as it was keeping an eye on a visiting VIP helicopter. wink

Unmarked white Evoque! Just off junction 4 M54. Looked quite effeminate, especially with the randomly placed blue lights flashing...

Was pulled over in Hall Green by an unmarked silver 3 series, didn't get any plates etc sorry was about 1:45am and I was on my way dropping friend off home after watching a private showing of Bond film, followed my about 1.5 miles before he pulled me, thought it was an unmarked car, pretty much confirmed when he did a U turn and started to follow me

Side note officer was good and asked a few questions and did usual checks and I was on my way, not even a producer thank fully as the staff in stations are the world's slowest typers!

This morning sitting on top of the m-way island of the M42 J2 (Redditch / Hopwood) - Black 06-plate BMW X5 with tinted windows. No external aerials, just an illuminated "Police" sign in the back gave it away.... if that wasn't switched on, you'd never know!

'Eh? Care to elaborate.... unless someone has put a Police sign in their X5 and they like sitting on top of m-way junctions, I'm not sure what else it was!
