I had an ex-police Omega MV6. When it was dirty (almost all the time) you could see the outlines of the Thames Valley force logos on the side which used to confuse a lot of people.
Great car. Very comfortable and fast, tail happy, but with a really lazy V6... Sooooo slow to accelerate below about 2.5k, then just power until 6k.
Rubbish head gaskets though.
@roter stern similar to the Yugo Zastava no? I remember seeing one of those pulling over another Zastava whilst touring Yugoslavia - brought to mind the old "it takes one to catch one" advert from porsche 😃

Which force used the MGB GT?
Looks cute.
NOt good for four big armed officers though.
This is what I grew up seeing most of, Dodge Coronets.. every where you looked there would be one hiding behind a drive thro' or a billboard...
Or these Plymouth Furys...

I need Dracs Ipad , mines bust
in fact it looks to me like a Nottinghamshire car and if its on the bridge between Lazonby and KO then its a long way from home.
Yes it’s Notts; That particular car was only a few days old & was on a blue light run on the M1 when someone swerved across his lane. The driver took avoiding action and ended up the embankment. Bit of a legend for writing off the 1st Cossie.
My dad had a couple of Senators in the late 80s / early 90s: a 3.0 12v with the lazy cam-in-head, head and then a 3.0 24v, which was white and ballistic! Cross country it was a superb vehicle with a great chassis. It’d also eat up a drive across Europe easily.
We used to play stupid games on motorways like set the cruise @69 mph for a while and watch the tailback of driven-like-nuns assemble behind.

I think Sussex had the MGB
The Lotus is cool, but is it broken down in that pic?
I remember getting pulled over on my Triumph Tiger Cub in probably 1971, by the Burnley Police in an MGBGT. In fact I think it may have been an MGC, I can't quite remember. They pulled alongside and the Bobby in the passenger seat's head was about level with my petrol tank!
