We start this section with a Peugeot Expert van. It has
an vector-shaped shape light bar which is more commonly found on
traffic cars. It also has repeaters in the front bumper and grill. |
 |
|
WP04
XFW
is a Mitsubishi L200 pick up fitted with a hard back. |
 |
|
The rear view of a similar L200 truck. This is again
fitted with a Truckman hard back. This particular model is operated by
Wiltshire Police. |
 |
|
AO52
UXW
is
a Santana 4x4 used by Norfolk Police. This is essentially a revised and
modernised version of the series 3 Land Rover built under license in
Spain. Notice that this vehicle is not equipped with blue lights and has
minimal livery. |
 |
|
RX52
MHM
is
an 2002 BMW 5 Series. Notice the repeater lights on the bumper,
grill and door mirrors. |
 |
|
The rear view of this 4 door saloon. |
 |
|
LX53
AWC
is another BMW 5 series, except this time in estate form with a diesel
engine. This particular vehicle is used by the Metropolitan Police. |
 |
|
The
rear view. Powered by a six cylinder turbo diesel engine producing 184 BHP
this car is both quick and economical. |
 |
|
The rear view of another 2004 5 series, except this
time a 530d Touring. |
 |
|
The
BMW X5 drives more like a car than a heavy four wheel drive. However, its
off road abilities are very poor. This is a 3 litre diesel sport model. |
 |
|
This 2004 BMW 3 series is powered by the same diesel
engine as the X5 and 5 series estates on this page. It is seen here in an unusual
police livery. |
 |
|
WU53
CMO is a Mercedes Sprinter
used by Wiltshire Police as a mobile CCTV unit. The camera is mounted on
the roof of the van. Notice how the blue lights are built into the body
work above the windscreen. |
 |
|
This Renault Traffic is operated by Thames Valley
Police. It is also equipped with CCTV facilities. You can see the roof
mounted camera on this photo. |
 |
|
MX53
VHT
is an Iveco communications vehicle used by Greater Manchester Police. It
is not equipped with blue lights. From this photo, with the side awning
out it looks more like a camper van! Notice the satellite communications
dish on the roof. |
 |
|
Here we have the MG ZT-T police demonstrator. Powered
by a 190 BHP 2.5 litre V6 engine, this is a very quick estate car. |
 |
|
The rear view. This car has an enormous load carrying
ability suiting it ideally to traffic police use. |
 |
|
This Mercedes Vito is used by Merseyside Police. It is
not equipped with blue lights. |
 |
|
This is an un-registered Pinzgauer 6x6 all terrain
vehicle. It is amoured to prevent ballistics penetrating the skin of the
vehicle. It is also resistant to hand grenade and land mine blast
shrapnel. |
 |
|
The rear view of this Austrian built vehicle. |
 |
|
This 4 door Honda Civic saloon is used by Hampshire
Constabulary. |
 |
|
The rear view. |
 |
|
RY03
BZH
is a Honda Accord Type S demonstrator. Notice the extremely dated side
livery which looks like it would not be out of place on a 1980's Matchbox
or Corgi model car! |
 |
|
The rear view showing the high visibility stripes. |
 |
|
The front view of another Accord with the same dated
side markings. Notice how this model has a different light bar to the
model above. |
 |
|
WM04
LPV is another Accord, except this
time is estate form. It is operated by Wiltshire police and has a far
better livery than the models above. |
 |
|
The
front view showing the bumper mounted repeater lights. |
 |
|
Looking like something out of a computer game, this
Honda NSX has been liveried up in Police markings. |
 |
|
This 3.2 litre V6 supercar is capable of reaching
speeds of over 160 MPH. However, it is not approved for Home Office use
within the UK. |
 |
|
Here we have a Honda Civic 5 door police demonstator. |
 |
|
We finish this section with WP52
VTD which is a Honda CRV four wheel drive used by Wiltshire
police. This force operates a lot of Honda's in its fleet, presumably
because of the location of the Honda factory at Swindon, which is in the
county. |
