Not Sting and co. but HM's Police force. I'm planning a small bank robbery in the next few weeks and was just wondering what I need to be able to outrun (I must point out here that I'm just joking before I get arrested).

I remember a time when if you could outrun a big Ford/Vauxhall/Rover or possibly a Range Rover you were laughing. Police endorsement was usually a good indication of reliability and durability though.













I can't say I see a lot of Mondeos/Insignias being used by the Police now though, although I'm guessing the Panda cars are still mainly Corsas/Astras/Fiestas/Focuses?

So what is the Police car of choice these days? Volvo V70? 5-Series? I have even seen Skoda and Kia Police cars. Never anything French though!

This IMHO, was probably the coolest car that the British Police ever used



although not the coolest Police car ever!



On a not really that related note, what do junior cabinet ministers use these days since the demise of these? (if they're not important enough to have a Jag)

Love this: I think used for moving human transplant organs

Not very patriotic of them though is it?

Just don't do it in Hull.



Spotted it a while back (couple of years), might still be with them.
That's awesome. On a side note, I wonder why the Rover 75/MG ZT never really caught on as a Police car. It was even available in RWD!
