Allegro with round steering wheel, most disappointing

Did the old bill use MGB's??

I always wondering about driving these to the event and impersonating a police officer.

Depends on your catalogue. I'd be brilliant* if the police occifer was Bruce Forsyth, John Peel, Chris Tarrant or Butthead, from Beavis and Butthead fame.

 

I'd smoke the mk2 'Tina, Lotus or not. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty sure that the SD1 was refurbished by the impossibly lovely Ant Anstead for the TV show earlier this year. Grampian Police from memory.

The Ant Anstead one was a special order Vitesse (according to Honest John, who is honest and called John), so not the same one. The one I papped was a little rough around the edges...

You live at the top of a water slide AICMYFP.

chap near me has an XJ-something done up like a motorway patrol car (excuse the technical jargon...) and he has covers that he puts over his blue lights.

Uninteresting trivia regarding Hampshire Constabulary - -

 

They were the first force to use furrin' motors - they had two Amazon estates on test in the late sixties and switched to 144S saloons in 1969.  I can remember the harrumphing

 

That Corty is indeed a Lotus (think it was the one modelled as a Vanguard) but they had others - My Uncle was a motorway plod when the M3 extended into Hampshire territory and I remember an illicit high speed blatt in the back of his Lotus - bundled under a blanket behind the front seat like a miniature train robber so that nobody would know I was joy-riding.   He gave me the same treat when he was testing a 2.5 PI estate (I think these were the ones that had the infamous VHF radio interference going on with the injection system).

Great spots.

 

The Volvo 240 was actually a Hampshire police car originally and found then restored. It was featured in PC mag some years ago I think.

There's a bit more info on it here http://hampshireconstabularyhistory.org.uk/?page_id=722

 

Motor, 3rd November 1978. Not great scans, but click to make them bigger...
