V619 DRB This is one of Nottinghamshire’s Subaru Imprezas…



V619 DRB This is one of Nottinghamshire’s Subaru Imprezas. This very fast, rally-bred car is the fastest in the fleet. Notice the single repeater blue light in front of the nose badge and the ‘police’ wording on the bonnet, which is elongated and mirrored to be easily read from the perspective of a driver’s rear view mirror.



The rear of the Impreza. The side stripe stops short of the rear of the car to accommodate the force crest. The large spoiler dominates the rear, which is absent of any police wording.



The side view showing the unmistakable silhouette of the ‘Scooby’. Unfortunately Notts. decided to withdraw the six-or-so Imprezas from their fleet in 2003.



Nottinghamshire also ran a hatchback version of the Impreza (pictured). Although this car has the appearance of an estate model, it is no slouch! It was the same specification as the saloon above: Prodrive tuned to 276 bhp, racing seats, but no air conditioning. The police drivers reported few negative points, including the uncomfortable seats and thirst for oil (one litre per 8-hour shift).

The replacement vehicle type is a little less spectacular, a plain white Ford Transit, but allows more flexible access into station car parks and urban areas whilst the same equipment carried.
