most of them are you could look at it two ways tho they were driven hard but thats what they are built for but they were also maintained too a much higher standard than normal as well

Think this was one of Northumberland Police Force Saph's:

Ive bought and sold a few,usually been well maintained but high mileage....
All the plod cars were standard motors so the rumours are false..

Did get all the fleet history with a couple of em,New brakes every 3 weeks..
so yes they were looked after but driven VERY hard...

think it was bbr who played with the ecu's in the police saphires, but don't tell anybody

dai burnsy

maybe track/road car so bit of both didnt pick all the paper work up yet i knew the person i bought it off so ill grab it again .
thanks for the pic too thats great from the outside the only tell tale is the lack of sunroof but when you open the boot on the inside there are still marks from the reflective strips.
what do you reckon shall i sticker it back up?

i have had quite a few of these in the past, no moded ecu's in any of mine! no sunroof is a bonus and fabric trim too ( i don't like saff leather)

dai burnsy

my thoughts exactly

dai burnsy

anyone know for an ecu incase he has buggered this one up?

cossiecrew

theres a silver 1 local to me j reg the guys had it years ex police car with no sunroof

DooerEvo1

Had a few myself defo not tampered with on the brain just well maintained.And great without no sunroof,but did you know that certain forces in the country used to order them with standard 18.GL style interiors to cut costs if the constabulary in that particular area was over budget

dai burnsy

no didnt know that mine has cloth recaro trim

DooerEvo1

Going back to the mid to late nineties i bought 5 saffs off the piggly wiggly's from the Manchester force 3 with cloth Recaro's and 2 with GL interiors in right down to the roof lining.And everyone had f**king problems especially with over heating,one would'nt boost properly no matter what we tried and all were under 80k mileage wise but drove more like 180k (but i did find a big f==k off maglite torch in the engine bay in one of em ) And the cavalier turbo i bought of em was even worse.

dai burnsy

o well time will tell f its a shed or not if its a dog ill break it

DooerEvo1

To be honest though i still see one of them now its running a healthy stage 3 with leather in it and plenty of mods so it does'nt nessasarily mean your on to a looser fella just that you might need to be a little patient while you discover more about her,but if she came at the right money it does'nt matter .Good luck.
