Crown Victoria
Discussion
I rented one for a week last year in Florida, did Miami airport to st petersburg and back along with some running about. Was ace I loved it. Lots of freeway and It was getting 26 miles to the us gallon.
I'm 32 so not exactly target market but I had a v8 stag on the west coast the 2 weeks before. Not sure I would want one in the UK but perfect in the States

I'll happily sell you one - and arrange shipping to UK - just tell me what you are after. The car would come out of inland Florida - so zero rust. Tell me what you need.
My pistonheads email address doesn't work anymore - so let me know if you are serious and I'll send my contact details.

I also have access to Orange/Seminole/Lake/Osceola County and OPD/KPD/Winter Garden and Apopka PD and LEVO police auctions - the times they are a changing and P71 cruisers will soon be a thing of the past, as most agencies transition to more efficient/adaptable SUV type vehicles.
This is my daughter's current cruiser...
Just let me know what you are looking for, what kind of budget you have in mind and I'll come up with some suggestions. I have a reputable connection in a UK based fellow member of this esteemed forum, who can handle the transaction at that end.
So - if you have a hankering for a Crown Vic (or any other budget-priced, but interesting American vehicle), give me a nudge. Happy to supply references (from PH members) who I've helped with US purchases in the past - parts, accessories, clothing etc...

I would also love a Crown Vic. P71 in black. They're cheap in the US but I think the examples you find in the UK are way too expensive, especially as many have clearly been well used. I understand that's what you get with an ex-police car, but the prices are a bit daft.
Will this 2006 P71 do ya? Make me an offer.....I did eventually get round to buying one in 2014, well a Mercury Grand Marquis. Loved it and I have to say it was pretty quick in the traffic light grand prix.
Surprised a few boy racers.
I only had it for 8 months then I sold it for 50% more than I paid for it to finance a 2016 Mustang. I don't have that either now

I ended up buying a absolutely mint condition 2011 Crown Vic with only 56k miles direct from a small town Police Department in Florida. It was from a small town 3 miles long and 2 streets wide populated solely my multi-millionaires, and with a 30mph speed limit. It has only ever been driven by the same Officer, who was gutted to see it go! It really is in 'as new' condition. Such a good find.
It will be the only P71 (well P7B actually) still in it's original markings (and with it's original equipment) in the UK and probably Europe. Normally these cars have to be stripped of all equipment and markings when they are sold or go to auction but i managed to persuade the Police Department otherwise.
Just waiting to ship it over to Blighty now.
