I mentioned these on my "what family car thread", but thought I'd put them out on a separate thread to get more feedback.

Spoke to the garage and he said all 6 were ex-arnold clarke fleet, one owner, but all the joysticks on the sat-navs are worn out and have been sent away to Alpine to be sorted.

To me white and worn-out sat-nav shouts ex-ambulance or similar. Oh and the £6950 on is on 100k miles, the 69k miles one is £10k.

looks like it to me, 6 of them, all white
But would they be serviced by honda uf they were police? I thought they did it in house.

Ambulances have been yellow for years so not that.

these in the colour and spec are quite often doctor response cars - usually have green DOCTOR lettering but no roof lights. i see them up here anyway (scotland)

eta: just seen that the dealer is based in glasgow so that would make sense...

The ambulance service around here (Manchester) use white rapid response estate, so I was thinking something like that. I'm guessing they are Doctors cars as someone has suggested. Just wondering what condition they might be in - TBH Glasgow is a bit far for me to trael to find out! frown

I've seen those Hondas used as 'Doctor/Paramedic' cars cutting about Glasgow (SAS - no, the Scottish Ambulance/Ambiwlans Service) for a few years now, so I'm pretty sure these will be old ones being sold off. I've never seen them driven in anger, so I couldn't comment about how well they've been looked after!

The Scottish Ambulance Service had loads of them in white as RRVs and PICU retrieval cars. They began replacing them a couple of years back with the facelift model, which ties in nicely with the age of the car. Every one I've noticed at work has had an SN or SK plate as well (how sad am I? hehe)

I'm no gambler but I'd guess it's seen the outside of a few A&E Depts...
