Do I assume that having a vehicle liveried up as a foreign Police car in the UK is absolutely fine as long as it does not have blue lights and you aren't being a colossal Walt attempting to pull people over etc.? Think US Police cruisers, Polizia Lambos etc. or is there a possibility of having action taken against you even though the similarity to a UK Police car is minimal/none.

I suspect the answer is yes, there would not be a problem.

My question would be: why would you?

Can we assume this is not going to be...

It was related to the sodding great ex UAE fully liveried diplomat transport vehicle one of my neighbors has just purchased for a giggle but you've just given me an amazing idea for this years rally livery........

Good-oh!

But, just in case, it wasn't me, right?

It would be if you put a question mark at the end of the sentence!
