Saph Cossie Police Cars, 1 more found 05/09/11, well sort off
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?
Heres some pics

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?
