Hi all.

Yesterday i was travelling down the Eastern Road and i noticed up ahead blue lights flashing. when i got to the car it was an old black s reg volvo...

It had all the blue lights in the rear window. There was a normal car parked infront of it. In the Volvo sat a guy with a white shirt....

Just thought it was strange. do the police still use the old cars?

Eastern Road - Portsmouth arterial route.

Hants used to run unmarked Volvo S60 - I had a friendly chat with the driver of a black one once, think it was a 52 plate. Also had a burgundy and (i think) dark green one.

Haven't seen anything other than Octavias for a while though, and would be surprised if they're operating a 10 yr old car.

Could be a personal car of a doctor or fire chief? Or could the OP have misread the plate - SA52ABC could have been mistaken for S452ABC?
It was a old T5 volvo. s reg im sure. definitely a copper... but could be a bought police ca and they left the lights in. either way it had someone pulled over and it was the old style volvo. im sur it was a t5 in black. the saloon version.
