We start this section with an extremely quick Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII. This car has a 2 litre turbocharged engine producing 261 BHP. This enable the car to reach 60 MPH from a standing start in 5.1 seconds.
The front view of this menacing machine. Few vehicles can keep up with this four wheel drive rally car. It has a top speed of over 150 MPH.
The rear view. Be warned, this vehicle has been fully approved by the Home Office for police use.
We now slow down the pace some what with this Skoda Superb.
The rear view. The car has been prepared by specialist vehicle company Cloeman Milne.
This un-registered Vauxhall Zafira is used for the transportation of Police dogs.
BF53 WKG is a specially modified Honda motorbike. Wearing a minimal police livery, it is designed to be used as a mobile speed camera unit. Notice the speed camera logo on the wind deflector.
From this view you can see the camera assembly on the rear top box of the bike. It folds neatly away into the box when it is not in use.
This blue long wheel base Mercedes Sprinter is used as a personnel carrier by Cambridgeshire Police.
Next we have a 2004 Peugeot 407. This car is unusual in having a dark blue paint scheme, like the Mercedes above. This all helps to increase the re-sale value of the car once it has finished its life in the police.
The rear view of this 407 operated by West Midlands Police.
Here we have another 407 but this time with usual white paint. The front end of this car is unusually shaped so that it reduces the chance of pedestrian injury in an accident.
The rear view.
We now have a Peugeot 307, a standard panda car used by Durham Constabulary.
The car carries minimal Police markings and has  only one small blue light bar on the roof. There are no repeaters elsewhere on the car.
This is the estate version of the 307. This has more comprehensive police markings than the five door hatchback model above.
This Mitsubishi Shogun is operated by the Metropolitan Police.
Another Mitsubishi, but this time a Shogun Sport. This particular four by four is used by the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The side/rear view of this off-roader. Note the extremely large light bar on the roof.
DX04 NFP is another Shogun Sport. It is different to the model above as this model has a bonnet air scoop and a different light bar. It also does not have front driving lights and is coloured white as opposed to silver.
We next have a Volkswagen Passat estate police demonstrator.
We now have the Volkswagen Touareg four wheel drive. This is available with a choice of engines, including an enormously powerful 5 litre V10 diesel.
As you can see from this photograph, the air suspension has been fully raised up. This enables the vehicle to have massive ground clearance. It can be lowered to provide more control when driving over tarmac surfaces.
This Volkswagen LT46 van is used for police personnel transport. It is also fitted with a riot shield and light protectors for when it is being used in a hostile environment.
We next have a Volkswagen Caddy van based on the fifth generation of the Golf. This vehicle is seen here in very minimal markings.
This is a Skoda Octavia vRS. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.8 litre engine giving it a top speed of over 140 MPH.
RV02 CCZ is a 5 door Honda Civic designed to be used by Special Constables. The vehicle is sponsored by Honda.
A12 FNC tows an Iron Horse Security mobile barrier, equipped with two rotating blue lights. The barrier folds out from the trailer to seal off a street or other area. It can be used for crowd control at riots, at sieges, at football matches or at motorway incidents to stop rubber-necking. The unit can be deployed by two people in under 15 seconds.
N161 RDD is a preserved Volvo 850 T5 owned by a Police Vehicle Enthusiasts Club member.
M859 AWS is a preserved Vauxhall Senator traffic car.
The rear view of the same car.
