It's tomorrow's headline in the Sport - it was seen on the Moon!

Doubtfull, an R reg ? that makes it 5/6 years old I didn't think they had anything on fleet particulary traffic duties older than 3 or 4 years tops. My bet is it was his own car and he was on his way home.

Friend of a friend of a copper in South Wales told me this is a new tactic- slightly older cars for the unmarked jobbies just to stretch our patience a little further....... Apparently there are two 'older' Jaguars in the South Wales force used for such a thing.

about 6 or 7 years ago I nearly got caught by very old and rusty white Maestro Van with a ladder on the roof which was parked under the Uxbridge Road roundabout on the A312. It looked like a broken down window cleaner's van as I was about to pass, through the back window I saw a peaked cap.... SLAMMMED on the brakes, passed the camera that was on the bonnet (or in front of the car) in a cloud of smoke just within the speed limit. Police driver shaking his head. Glad they do not do that any more.

make them all drive Maestro Vans, might get less applying for traffic duties then

Too long ago now but a manky ancient khaki coloured (ex forces?) Standard Vanguard was parked outside my abode. Just up the road was a radar trap; very nicely screened by the Standard so folks came round a slight left hand bend, moved out to pass the parked vehicle and popped nicely out into the radar beam.

When time to pack up arrived one of the S. Yorks. occifers got into the Standard and drove it away. So I guess nothing new under the sun then.

On the M62, near Croft interchange (meets the M6). Normally they use T5's (1 black estate, 1 red estate, both with blacked out windows) and a black Saab on this stretch, all <2 years old, T5's with a preston reg (PE02xxx) and Saab S-something

The beemer had vascar installed, console LCD display, blues & 2s in the engine grill, police radio. Definitely not his own car.
