LY03 UFS The Met moved towards using more silver vehicles in 2003. This example is a Vauxhall Astra beat car.
The rear view of the same car. The idea behind using silver cars is the residual value when the time comes to sell it on. The police can expect as much as 10% more for a desirable silver coloured car than a less-desirable white car.
Been filming down at the #PierHead today! Fantastic backdrop of @RoyalLiver1911 talking all things #Motorcycle and #IOMTT! @AlpineCentreUK creating plenty of interest also! @BMWMotorradUK @PVLUK @Redtronic @Merseysidersp
This beauty of a @EOneUKLtd @MercedesBenz Vario is on the run at Lochgoilhead. This is one of many Vario chassis’ VSUs in the west of Scotland, this particular one being the 4x4 chassis, and one of the oldest. A very capable chassis, which sadly is no longer manufactured
#CVU enforcement in Oldham. Another vehicle massively overweight which will effect brakes and steering. Prohibited until items removed onto 2 other vans. GFPN issued. Pictures paint a thousand words.
