Greater Manchester Police - undercover Patrol cars?
Discussion
Do Police forces generally use "older" cars for undercover work?
I've seen two cars recently with blue lights either on the dashboatd or in the rear windscreen, one was a 10-plate VW Touran in Salford, and the other one was a 62-plate Insignia on the M66 this morning. In neither case were the sirens on and neither of the cars was being driven particularly fast. However, in both cases there was a lot of traffic congestion and obviously the blue lights meant that people were moving out of the way for them.
It just seemed odd for cars so old to be "undercover" Police cars and the cynic in me wonders if people are using them to "make cheeky progress"
