E21/E28/E30 Politzei....road legal ?

[Mark V8]

Tonights Auf Wiedersehen Pet was chock full of these which got me thinking....
Would it be legal to run a foreign police liveried vehicle on the UK roads, considering it would'nt replicate any British vehicle past or present ?

Check out the Polizei Cannonball/Gumball car... goiogle is best.

His M5 has all sorts of police liveries.... some fake, some rather close to REAL!!!

From memory it's legal but only as long as the blue lights are either taken off or permanently covered up so they cannot be seen.

Completely road legal with the lights and "POLICE" covered.

You need to cover the lights and if the word "police" is written in English, that also needs to be covered.

Polizei/Policia etc should be fine.
