the plod have had some nice fords over the years,
st200's capri2.8i's ,xr4x4, granada cosworth, escort cosworths
rs2000's mk1,2, 6 and 7,etc but have never been lucky to find
myself at a police car auction to pick up a bargain.
they are always flipping volvos and vauxhalls

If you type the reg plate of the Corgi Saph beside the jeep (J124 FSR) into HPI it shows up Sierra Saphire Cosworth 4X4. Model must have been based on a real car.

I was serving in Northumbria when we had the Sierra Cosworths and Escort Cosworths. Cracking cars but they were forever in workshops as they were being driven hard 24 hours a day , seven days a week.
I'd prefer to be driving a Cosworth in a pursuit than the Volvo's we have now.

Police lights covered the whole sunroof if you look on original pics.
Had,nt had a roof change as you could see where the ariels had been if you looked real close.
The pop out side windows had been fitted by pevious owner.

Cumbria police had 3 Sapphires, I know one definetly got wrote off. They then had 2 or 3 Escort Cosworths. My father in law was a police mechanic and last he heard one Escort is still sat in the corner of the Police garage with a blown engine. They,ve got Skoda Octavias and Evo 9's now, think the guy who buys the cars must be a rally fan.

Right lads,I've been in contact through a website about collecting police badges and got to e-mail a current Luxembourg policeman.This is his reply to whether the 3 door Cossie is real or not....
Hello and Merry Christmas,
Yes, its a real Luxembourg police car that was used in daily police service by the highway patrol police.
But not yet today, it was the former Gendarmerie Forces who used it. Now we have only one Police.
Marc
So thats one fact cleared up!!All the best,Micky
