[Closed] All time coolest official vehicle?

Ford Gran Torino from Starsky and Hutch, top police car!

Gotta be an eastern european/Soviet 60s diplomat car.

Tough to google quickly, here's 2nd best:

Old Mercs are cooler than a penguin's pantry. FACT!

UKE 80 is pretty damned spanking, though.

The SPV rocks! Closely followed by the half track Landy.

Need. Want. Etc.

That new popemobile is mint too.

And may I add how dire the royal Bentley is? Yuck.

Uncle Joes car from the 40's, dont think this one was ever stuck in traffic.

A friend of mine, an avid Mercedes collector, I think he has a dozen, has a pair of these that he had shipped from South Africa. Former staff cars:

or maybe this, even if it is a trek 😉

Why is the Pope driving a Kubelwagen?!

Surely a proper Popemobile takes some beating

The Turkmenistan president's runaboot

De Gaulles DS

Also helped him survive an assassination attempt with a high speed car chase through Paris while getting shot over a 100 times..So therefore not only the.best looking but also the most bad ass presidential car

110 WKIK... perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse

or

[img] [/img]

Lara Croft's 110... avec Lara... was going to say "perfect for the Zombie Apocalypse" but her landy don't have the Gimpys, 40mm grenade launcher (optional) and good ol' Ma Duece (the 50mm M2 HMG)

EDIT [i](and yes i do know that a) that ain't a 110 b)it possibly isn't even a landy (could be a bobtail disco) and c) that isn't really angelina jolie but.... I just liked the pic... )[/i]

I do like a nice Unimog:

Love that [s]Citroen CX[/s] Transit.

That Lara Croft car's not a Disco, or a Landy. I think it's a Landcruiser.
Maccruiskine, I seriously want a civvy version of that airport fire tender!

Gaz 14 used to ferry USSR bignobs about.

A cop called Max had a pretty cool set of wheels!

EDIT (and yes i do know that a) that ain't a 110 b)it possibly isn't even a landy (could be a bobtail disco) and c) that isn't really angelina jolie but.... I just liked the pic... )

I came here to post a picture of the extended 4 door Citroen SMs used by the French presidents for a while, but Putin riding a bear through a river and whatever that transparent plane is just dominate everything else out of existence.

Also this thread needs this

And my personal favourite this:

[img] [/img]

And i want one of these:

[img] [/img]

That is all 😀

Can't beat an old skool Unimog...

[img] [/img]

Woah! That little Unimog is fantastic! Put a box back on it and it would be almost a cube. I want it; I'd love it and hug it and hold it to my chest and call it George... 😀

Unimogs are gangster - this little one particularly so...

old skool Unimog...

WIN!

2 pages and no....

You are slacking STW

Yesterday, in order to get to a bothy in the middle of nowhere (down tracks/up hills that Defenders can't cope with) to find a suicidal missing person, 3 of us travelled in one of these, so for a couple of hours I guess it counted as a police car. Either way, it's an incredible machine!

[img] [/img]

Ooh ooh, does our mobile office count?

And my second choice (as seen on the streets of Wigan and Bolton):
[img] [/img]

whatever that transparent plane is

Wonder Woman's invisible plane!

poor effort by NWAS up there... our bikes (before they scrapped the scheme) had Fox forks and Alfine gears IIRC...

but yeh, putin, riding a bear, through a river. He might be nuts, but I'd vote for him on the basis of that picture alone!

But then he ate the bear, from the inside out

[img] [/img]

Still a bit peckish

North Korea's Giant Robot

Quality! What are they calling it? Me Ga Dong?

Just had to revive this thread, after I saw this, this afternoon:

Franklin Roosevelt's train which he'd take from Grand Central Station to the Wardorf Astoria's own private underground station. He was able to be driven in his car...

[img] [/img]

... straight off the mainline train, into this one, the from the underground station, still in his car take a lift up into the garage of the hotel. All to avoid having to be seen using his wheelchair by the pubic.

Which was a pity really as his wheelchair looked ace
