Default memories of the police

Long gone are the days when you could look in your rear view mirror and see this bearing up your chuff like a steam train

I saw this a couple of times when it was out and about, the humberside police escort cossie.



"This was one Cosworth that only the bravest of thieves would have tried to nick back in the early 90s. The Police decided that if they were going to have any chance whatsoever of catching all the stolen Escort Cosworths, they needed one themselves. Some were standard, but in Humberside the Vehicle Crime Unit teamed up with Ford Motorsport to created a tuned 250 bhp beat car with competition suspension, OZ wheels and under-body protection."
