Spotted this on youtube! Worth a watch, Has a couple of unmarked cosworths!
Only watched episode one but will watch the rest!

Looks like the interceptors of the 90's!

 

Got all them on dvd, and filmed all round where I live miss the good old days. The escorts Rs turbo one is good where they chase it with oldskool stickers on it.

 

WOW this is a blast from the past!! I used to see them all the time around in Urmston Manchester, they had a fleet of marked/un-marked Cossie's, Astra GSI's and Cavalier Turbos!!

 

I remember hearing the turbo whistling away on the cossie

 

I remember this program very well. They also had Escort RS2000's Astra GSI and Cav Turbo.

 

Ah sounds good! Hopefully that episodes on youtube!

One part of the episode that I posted, a driver in a stolen car got t-boned by another driver nearly killing them both through jumping a red light...

It was okay though cause the thief paid the other driver Ł70 in compensation

 

Cool vid. It was a shame about the escort RS2000 cop car getting pinched and burnt out.

 

A saph was taken too, remember reading about it in the manchester evening news blasting round manchester pulling people over! That was left burnt out as well 😞

 

Used to love this show, never thought to search for it. Top find mate.

 

I used to record this every week, it was awesome! The cops used to love thrashing around in their unmarked cars as much as the thieves! Going to look through all my old vhs tapes, now where did I put the video player.....

 

I heard of a saff cop car getting punched up in the north east. I think it was pinched from Sunderland or Newcastle.

 

The moondust 4x4 Saff is K257 JCA

Not been taxed since early 2003

 

Found this ref the manchester Cossie stolen & joy ridden round Salford. Shame about its end

 

hi Mike

Could you tell me how you knew the reg and details of the moon dust sapphire K257 jca?
Only because this vehicle was stolen from me in 2004/2005.

Thanks

 

stolen cossie torched

 

The car is in the show a few times with the number plate displayed.

 

can see the '57 JCA' part of the reg in this one at 6:13

 

red s2 in that one with white graphics all over it...., F484 PSE

 

On one of the episodes its parked up on a side street with Steve Lewis behind the wheel while watching the girls go by. You can see the plate then.

On another note we have drivers coming into work to pick cars up who are ex police. One of which is ex GMP roads policing who was working with the X dept but I a marked up car.(not in the show) He still goes out drinking with Steve Lewis who he says has now retired along with the guy with the big GMP at who is usually with him in the show.
Alan also said there was a couple of RS2000's that got pinched from the police way before the tv show in 1995.

 

Brilliant show saff cossies made the best cop cars, they look really good in silver aswell

 

Remember reading about an escort cossie police car that was stolen and torched back in the day.

 

was stolen off the transporter i think outside the police station or ford dealer

 

yes, thats was the East lancs at boothstown i remember it

 

that crash was on east lancs rd / boothstown

 

i was just watching x cars agin and decided to run a check on the silver cossie J257 JCA...now says SORN back in 2015...then i googled it and found this thread hah

 

i enjoyed watching this series back in the day, remember the cossies, cav turbo and GSI Astra to name a few. I wonder if that police unit is still going as it was, majority of there job was after joyriders.
