There is an anti-terrorist unit based just off the M60 near Ashton-under-Lyne and they seem to have a fleet of black vehicles - I once saw a full convoy of about 8 of them - all different makes and type of vehicles.

Manchester/Salford area

Purple audi S3 very nice hard to notice.........
Had a run-in with that S3 last year, from memory I think it was a "12" or "62" reg.

My brother-in-law was driving us home in his RS3 from Manchester city centre, heading south along the A556 to Altrincham........said S3 comes charging up behind us along the city link road past the VW dealer, we weren't speeding (just going with the flow of traffic) proceeds to undertake us then we watch him generally driving like a muppet, weaving in and out of traffic in front of us past Old Trafford. At this point none of us realised it was an unmarked car, certainly very discreet looking. Set of traffic lights change to red up ahead and we eventually pull up alongside him again, at which point the meathead driver winds the window down & starts shouting and pointing across at us, no idea what his problem is or what he wants. So brother-in-law was just about set for a full launch control style pull away from the lights when I clocked his police vest, radio & camera equipment around the rear view mirror so told him to cool it. Lights change to green, we set off normally and he puts on his blue lights and shoots off ahead to go and bother someone else. All very strange. And not seen it around since then, prob 6 months ago.

Spotted 2 black BMW 3 Series (F30's) 4 door saloons on the A54 towards Congleton on Sunday morning. Very subtle the only external give away is the four virtical light bars hidden inside the "kidney" grills. Can't remember the reg plates sorry.
They were rapidily being caught by a gun metal grey Nissan GTR travelling in the same direction.

They started to get rid of the S3s now. The older ones anyway.

A black Volvo V40 sped past me on the M60 a week or so ago. It was a '14' reg, started with DK I think?

Looked for this thread at the time but couldn’t find it.

M6 J37-J39 Sunday 3rd April

Grey BMW 5 series SE (chrome trim) saloon-6cyl (twin exhaust). Didn’t note the VRN.

Two strobes in the kidney grill, info/video screen sat in the space where the iDrive screen would be and a small antenna just in front of the shark fin antenna. Also had a scuff on the nearside rear corner of the bumper.

Was fairly motoring came up behind me from the J37 North bound slip, when I was in the outside lane passing a couple of neck and neck trucks, shot off at 120mph+ up to J38, where he slowed to 90mph until he pulled off at J39 and returned South bound.

Thought he had me initially, but seemed to have more important things to do.

I thought GMP did away with the Volvo's a while ago, possibly senior fire/ambulance officer?

Many years since they had Volvos. Could be anyone in this day and age TBH.
Traffic were meant to be getting the new S60 when they started to get rid of the VXs, that was a good 3 years ago but it never happened. Seem to be sticking with Bimmers.

Could have been, I saw a white Peugeot the other day with lights in the grill, it had a chap dressed in a green uniform driving it, unmarked ambulance?

It sounds like it was probably a senior paramedic in his own car

Looks like GMP have got rid of their Subaru, seems very low mileage for a five year old car that has been ran by a police force though

Those Audis are still about then, not seen them for a while. There's a silver one and a black one both S?61, the silver one used to be around the Whitefield/Bury area quite a bit
