traffic policing car. This preserved vehicle looks exactly as it did when
it was in service with Greater Manchester Police in the 1980s. |
 |
| One of the trademarks of 80's
traffic police cars was the enormous rear police sign. You can see here
how it looks like a spoiler and lights up with 'police' on the left hand
side and can show 'stop' in red on the right. |

TTC Humberside Police decided to go with the lesser-known
Proton Persona 1.3 LSi for their main panda cars. Here is one of their
1997 examples, somewhat lacking in livery when viewed from head on. |
 |
| The side view shows the traditional red stripe of
Humberside Police. This Proton is a sensible alternative to Ford's and
Vauxhall's offering for beat cars. In 1997 Persona LSi would have only
cost £8800 in the showroom, and even less when bought in bulk by the
police. |
