kosienutter · 07-02-2010, 09:06 PM

Out of curiosity, just been looking at the 4x4 Cosworth Database, and this has probaly been asked before, but are the Police car Cosworths still out there in the police moteef/decals or have they gone back to there standard colour?

Anyone remember the J reg moonstone 4x4 that was used on X-cars in the mid nineties. Can't remember the index but wonder if it's still around.

Glenny Boy · 08-02-2010, 03:06 PM

IIRC that was a ford publicity photo, not an actual tug by the police.

KSA-Cossie · 08-02-2010, 09:11 PM

VERY rare seats these m8

benporter · 08-02-2010, 09:19 PM

Hardly any of the Police cars had the so called "police spec" seats , most just had standard ones, ive seen a magenta one with them as standard.

Isnt that door card just a normal late spec one?

steves24V's · 08-02-2010, 09:23 PM

I remember years ago my mum getting pulled over by a escost cossie i thought it was brill at the time.

They are m8.

AndyPen · 08-02-2010, 09:46 PM

Geoff Dewitt used to have them in all the time and yes, most were in standard trim inside from what I recall. He did all the servicing for the Welsh Police cossies I think.

What force smashed that one up then?

J690Turbo · 08-02-2010, 09:50 PM

my mum took me to the local police open day when i was a bout 10 and they had the sapphire cos traffic car there and a competition to be taken out for the afternoon with the traffic cop, was buzzin when i won, well my mum answered all the questions for me haha! heres a pic of the car not the best pic
