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.

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

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?

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?
